i tried searching and couldnt find anything to answer my question.

ive seen a few pics before of it done

what throttle cable can i use so it goes from the throttle body straight to the firewall & pedal box?

instead of running all the way around the engine?

how mine is atm

just go to the wreckers and suss some other cables out, maybe take off ur current cable off the bracket and mock fit it to where u would want it to sit and find one that is simiar.
U can use eg ones too. ive got an eg gl cable in my car for the kswap ;)
