Recieved the 034 EFI yesterday. Electronics aren't that special to look at. Awefully expensive little box. Also recieved the standard cable throttle body.

Any suggestions for where to get really good quality bulk length cable for a throttle?

They do some really nice streetrod stuff. Didn't see bulk cable on their site but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks Jeff, I fired them off an email to see how long their standard universal cable is. I'm thinking I can probably get bulk throttle cable from a motorcycle shop too, but I'm not sure if it is heavy-duty enough.

Expect the prices to be high. Their normal clientel has money to burn. I asked them about making me a new dipstick and flexible tube for the Eco (ended up tweaking the orig and using it) and they said "no prob, send the orig for a pattern and we'll have it back in a couple weeks". Remember, this would have been all billet, braided housing, billet bracket, etc. cost about $75-100. Fair enough for a trick piece but pricey for a dipstick.

The latest is I've been working on the braking system. I've also been renovating a house and taking a CAD course at the local JC, and doing some travelling, so the bugs been a little neglected. Hope to change that within a couple of weekends. Once I move into the new house I'll also have a new garage to work out of that's within earshot instead of being across town.
