Hey guys..

i just did a jdm 98 5 lug conversion and i bought i think either ek or integra handbrake cable as i was told i needed it for the conversion because mine previously was a drum brake SO. i did that and now i have a problem because my handbrake cable is to short. So question is what handbrake cable should i be using? thanks


Also i did a jdm b18cr conversion and the throttle body is to big for my old intake arm from the b16. Could i get the itr intake arm and still use my b16 intake box? or do i need to get the whole thing. THANKS

IF you own a hatch....ANY handbrake cable from 4 discs hatchback/sedans will work.

Check that you havent routed the cable wrong(wrong whole on the trailing arm)

the b16 intake will squeeze on with abit of WD40 or similar lube. But just get a ITR intake to fit perfectly.

What if i used an integra one? will it matter? or are they the same length.

OKAY UPDATE!! i wasnt sure what handbrake cable it was so i got another ek one and measured them and its the same length. Also the hand brake mounts all lines up properly it just ends up a lil short so cant bolt up inside the car wont reach that long bolt. SO would i need ITR or INTEGRA handbrake cables to suit with the trailing arms? or it maybe longer!? ... help me out guys ><


OR WHO WANTS TO COME HELP ME?!?! =[

check to make sure you havent moutned the right setup on the left. as benjammin said. you probably fed the cables through the wrong hole aswell..

iehter the integra and civic cables can be used on the hatch. you shouldnt have problems.

pics would help
