is there a way to get rid of 3" of slack from my throttle cable?
 

i'm doing an ls/vtec install right now, and the cable has about 2-3" to much between the little ball and the adjusting nuts. any idea how to get rid of that slack?

long time-no post, but H-T is worthless :l

This is the wrong forum. Why not just make a bracket that moves the mounting point closer to the DS?

the distance between the closest to the end adjustment nut and the actual end of the cable is too long. i cant just "tighten the nut" till its snug.

I am actually using a gsr TB on a d16 LOL
what you need to do is to move the TB bracket up by using just the top bolt, then route the TB cable over the fuel filter side and it will fit. the cable does blind a LITTLe tho.
