Kind of stupid to rip a skid over a blind hill with so many people around to catch it on camera...even with half that power not a good idea.
Cunt will get reamed & now the rest of us will cop shit by karensan easy fix is get a mate to drive in front of you at 60 then 80 then 100 and mark in on your speedo with some liquid paper.

Go back and look at the first pic i posted, about 1/4 of the shaft that holds the blade in is hanging down still attached to the throttle cable. Cable didn't come off, the shaft has snapped so no return spring unless that cheap shit china TB is a double return. Technically blade could jam open due to the snapped shaft, tps reads still at wot and feeds in the fuel as its on the other end of the shaft and away she goes.
The change of revs in the skid and at not even a second of limiter bash at the impact or tip over makes me think otherwise.

This is about 15 mins from my place. It was during a school formal. Always one wanker to ruin it for the rest.
We had our formal the other month. 99% of drivers were fine, one spastic decided to light it up and sent a very nice old Monaro (or something similar IDK) backwards through a road sign. Car was borrowed.

If the thing just snapped off (which the misaligned cable would contribute to) then that would make sense
(and yes, it was a dumb place to drop a skid, but ive done my share of dumb things too)

Also my compliments to the throttle cable bracket guy, close bro only missed the alignment by an inch.
The two different hose clamps triggers my OCD.
