Accelerator cable

Post by d1staz »

Hi all, just curious to know what type of accelerator cable people are using. Are they custom made or from another car? Had a look through the other threads but couldn't find any specific details.

Hi d1staz & welcome to Austarion. I've found imports (jap/nz) run a longer cable as standard, and I've heard some use an extension on the existing one or most commonly done is to go custom.

assuming you are looking specifically for one for a twink in a starion, the one on mine seems to be standard - no mods, just goes over the head..

Yeah thrash it's for a twin cam and the standard one is too short.

If a gay guy drives a Starion, does that make a Starion a gay car?
