Anything is possible!

1) Tie a string to your gas pedal
2) Run the string through the firewall
3) pull string!


Taa Daaa!

lol, is it really necessary to rev it from under the hood?

actually, i was showing my gf the parts of her xA and i pulled the throttle open and revved it, and she got all angry, thought i was breaking something.

nah, i did, i was just going through was like "this is your cars intake, maf sensor, and throttle body, this is the throttle cable, and if you pull it, the throttle will open up and the engine will rev like this...

but she just isn't used to her stock xA making loud noises, she is a really slow and steady driver.
