Hello Everyone,Is the 8V XSI accelerator cable the same legth as the P1 S16 acc. cable? SB seems to say that they are identical. Anyway, my cable seems too long, the acc pedal is way higher than the brake pedal. It was OK till I wasn't wearing boots but now it seems to be an issue. The adjuster in the engine bay is at its limit, ie. I cannot adjust it more. Any ideas? Thanks! ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |

cut the cable down as a temp measure from the throttle body end, i ran a diy'd cable for about a year when i put an s16 engine into my xsi..just cut a few inches off it and ran a little circular cylinder clasp over it, like them wiring clamp things from inside connector blocks  i did buy a new cable, i forget if it was actually longer or not come to think of it  but there must have been a difference on my setup to warrant using a DIY'd clamp________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

So the S16 cable is in fact shorter? ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |

i don't know, i had a standard xsi so the cable from the xsi i assume was a bit longer or bodged somehow. if it was a direct fit there would have been no need to cut it  shame i don't have my xsi cable anymore as i have all my s16 cable on the floor in the garage so i can't compare, unless you have measurements of the xsi one? edit> my xsi was an 8v aswell, not a 16v.. ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Thanks for the input  My cable is still in the car. Looking at 3rd party products, they state 2710mm as the length. Seems long for a LHD, but I never saw it out of the ca  ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |
