didja ever find out the inner dia. of that tubing?
Nope, forgot.
Im making a note of it and Ill post tonight when I get home. The tubing I had was actually a bit bit so I cut a small section as opposed to making a slice. If you look in the picture you can see that the tubing overlaps a bit. But like I said I will find out the proper inner diameter for you tonight.

no worries, do you have an estimate or a range? I think i'll stop by the hardware store on the way home and pickup stuff to do that. I'd rather buy 3-4 sizes than have to go back again.
btw, your writeup is 8 billion times easier to read and understand than any of the other write ups for this mod. good pics too.

Thanks alot Red! I hope to do some more for the forum when I decide what my next mods are. As far as the pics go...I took about eleventy billion cause I was the flash was giving off tons of glare and there were a number of blurry ones. What can I say I'm no photographer.
Um, I would say that you would be very safe with an inner diameter of 1/4", I think 1/2 inch inner is too big, so somewhere in between. The smaller the inner diameter the better, all it has to be able to fit is a thin cable. If you just crawl down there and look it will give you a very good idea of what you need.

went to my OSH today and got a couple nylon spacers unless i screw up...the dimensions are 1/2" x .194" x 1"....so i'm guessing the inner diameter of mine is about 2/10s of an inch...i just eyeballed it with the backstop of the throttle cable and my extra slack just happened to be about an inch...only thing is the smallest hose clamps they had only went down to 5/8" and the overall diameter of my spacer (which was the BIGgest they had) is 1/2" so the clamp wouldnt do anything...thinking about just using the zip ties...the spacer is pretty hard though so i dont think it will get crushed...

yea i love this mod. i did it a while ago and the few people who have driven my car sinse then always freak me out because the car jerks forward real bad when they hit it and dont mean to give it that much gas. most of them are in awe after that.

I did this mod to my car. I dunno if the gas pedal height is the same, so the spacer lenght might vary. I got a nylon spacer, about 3/4 of an inch long, from the elctronics parts store (they are usaed for mounting circuit boards). It's about 1/4" outer diameter, 1/8" hole. I took one end of the spacer and bored out the middle with an xacto knife until it would fit over the knob on the end of the gas pedal so the spacer would be flush against the flat stop on the end. I took one side, and cut out the slit with a razor (you can use a bike brake cable to make sure your slit is wide enouhg to fit over the cable without having to get into the car to check). I used one of these (1/4" i.d.) and nut/bolt/lock washer combo to secure it: http://www.picocanada.com/catalogue/7314-7329.asp
or
http://www.wmbs.hdweb.com/item.html?itemid=421573148
the one I used if jt&t products (jttproducts.com) part # 4464F, but I couldn't find the link anywhere for it.
10-32 x 1/2" nut/bolt combo was perfect for me.

hey i didnt get a chance to do it as planned this weekend because of a wedding....other than opening the TB more and wasting more gas....is there any negative effects this mod could have on the car? like confusing the ECU and/or other sensors?
