SO i bought a camry accelerator cable for the swap when i installed it was too long and was all over the place ,so i took some measurement and it was 23inches from the TB to the firewall so went to the junkyard and found a 94 corolla and measure the the length of the cable it was about 24inches" et voila tres bien" so it fit perfect just like it was from a TT.
So from this day don't waste your time on the Camry throttle body cable it fits but its too long.

Thats great work. So now we know a better solution to this issue and its probably a lot cheaper than the 50 bucks i shelled out for the tt accelerator cable! So let me know when you get your car up and running for the first time on the streets

Yes The camry cable was way too long and all over the engine lol you dont even see the intake manifold and valve cover all you you see is accelerator cable man lol.

I need a downpipe and wire up my Wideband O2 and ready to go, i cant wait to pull it outside.
The shifter look fine after i put everything back togheter i taught i was kind of tall but it looks perfect .

You cant just use your stock downpipe? the wideband is a pretty simple hook-up just takes a little bit if time figuring out where to mount the gauge.

i thought the shifter was pretty high and it still looks a little high for my liking even though it looks a little shorter than the stock manual. I think that i will get my shifter shortened about an 2 inches or so.

You need to take some pics man. I will take some pics of my inside and how the shifter sits and also get some exterior shots.

I forget, but are u doing this for your sc or your gs?

nice pics, the build looks good so far. How did you route your IC pipping? Looks like you are being very very throrough with your build

99SC42

iTrader: (44)

Thanks man.

At first i routed it inside the passenger side fender,then i realise i didnt want a lot of bend and a lot of piping so i drilled a hole right at the airbox location right behind the passenger headlight and run the piping thru.

The driver side piping look the same as yours i think.

I measure the shifter last night and it sits about 5 inches of the center console without the shift ****.
I install my stock radiator back in and i love the way my engine back looks( looks like its fill up)
I will be doing the cluster mod tonight so my cluster start working!
The only thing holding me up really is the DP, i wanna get my License Plate on monday.
Let the fun begin.

Thats cool man,

the driver side IC pipping wasnt to bad just modified the lines a little bit and for the passanger side i just cut a little bit from underneath the headlight to give it more room so it is almost a straight line. I had to add the MSD tach adaptor for my rpms to work, but everything else worked fine when i started it up.

I think hopefully I will be driving on monday too! I just want to touch up some things like the reverse lights, and ABS, change cabin filter and it should be a go. I cant wait to let it out the cage.

Where are u located at, I was planning on driving down to the MD/DC area next weekend or the weekend after. We should link up when im out there.
