I have a problem with my throttle cable, some guides say to get an extenison for it... i have throttle wire but how do i splice it in. Me and a friend were trying to cut a portion of the covering off so that the assemlby with the idle type nut will slide further back to the ca bracket but we can cut that dame steel spiral inside. Any other simple cheap ideas? (i dont have my ka anymore so its bracket cant be used)

I made a bracket out of some metal with holes in it... I bent it to fit properly and it works fine with the stock 93 cable:) I actually think it was something from an erector set I had in my closet...

Did you screw it into the holes where the current brack was? Because the bracket need to be about 1-2 inches forward... i have metal and a welder i could go at it with but i think img oing to just dremmel that metal wire and slide the piece back.

Why go to that extend!??? I'm using my stock ka-E line and it works fine.. Anyway I'm driving my car now. feels pretty good.well Actualy feels like driving a jet boat on the street.( stupid blown stock suspensions!!!!) Don't actualy know how fast I'm going cos. I didn't plug those plugs from the transmission yet ( will do that this Sat.) But i'm using JDM gauge cluster so I can read RPM. :) seems to be boosting fine ( no power under 3k rpm but above that IT"S A BLAST!!). temp seems to be on the cool side right under 1/2.lights works power everythings works. But I thing i need to work on wiring a bit more cos. all the light is not coming on like it suppose to. all i got when keys on is BRAKE, DOOR AJAR, & SEAT BELT light. no oil light or nothing else. Anybody have a clue???

Plan for SATURDAYFinish my wiring on transmission and dash lights.Install Defi Boost/turbo timerApexi S-AFC. Then next Tuesday I'm going to pick up my Exhaust From Jarco in GA.

Thanks to all that help me with this Swap. C
