Use the original cable in your car. You'll only have to adjust it and modify the bracket that bolts to the IM near the throttle body

There's no clean way of doing it. I used a throttle cable bracket from a 85-87 CRX with the 12V fuel injected motor.

If I was going to do it again I would get an aftermarket intake manifold.

Fabrication rocks.

I wish I had the ability to CNC billet and mold plastic. I'd come up with some sick as shit for our cars.

First thing on the agenda would probably be a clean as oem cluster swap. I really like the 01 Civic VTEC cluster. Second would be a double din navigation console and third would be new door panels with some audiophile speaker mounts.
