OMG that picture is scaring the living **** out of me. Wow!! you have quite a project going there.



So is the problem the cable is too long or too short??



There is an easy solution here we just need to think it through.

Jims5543, was the swap worth all of the hassle?



Currently, I am contemplating this swap as well. The only reason that I am thinking of this swap is that I recently totalled my FD and the body seems to be too much to repair and the chassis may have buckled. For the cost of repairs to the FD, I could possibly get the engine swapped into an FC. From browsing around the forums, I see that the consensus is to swap a 20B into a FC or to build a strong 13BT into an existing FC.



So, I would like to hear your thoughts, as well as others, on this situation.

Easy fix, get an FD accelerator cable. It's still a little tight, ie throttle starts to open, but with a little modifying of the cables position you can fix that.

Hey trex07 - That is pretty trick. I would like to see how you mounted it.



Where are you located? Obviously a RHD car. Aussie?
