Wifes W208 CLK 230K Convertable - Me GTR on order
I adjusted the accelerator cable on the 230K, I can say that its transformed the way the car drives, its alot more responsive now and kick downs better:p

I recommend it to anyone to check it out:bannana:

That's very kind, when can I come and have a go!!?? :devil:

Good tip though.
 
well a lot of them are electronic so cant be adjusted, hence the sprintbooster...

but yes when i first got the SEC, the pedal travelled a long way before anything happened..

i spent 3-4 hours adjusting up all the linkages and replacing springs in the mechanisms.. the car was transformed..
 
Mines electronic but you can adjust the cable to the box

Best to set it so it reaches full throttle JUST before it applies kickdown. This means it's definately giving it all it can as it kicks down and takes out as much slack as can be done.
 
It would be good to access some plugs and sockets that would fit where the sprintbooster plugs in, it would be simple to do decade box with variable amounts of boost, with a little switch under the dash.
