Twin Charged FD - Fraternal Twins

The fruits of my labor from last weekend (I drove over 1000 miles, and moved to a new state and picked up an engine in a different state haha).

Also, made some killer progress on the throttle cable.

Bought a Lokar Midnight series cable 36" long.

This has different ends than the stock cable, and also a different way to pass through the firewall. Stock has a nifty clip, and this has 2 nuts that clamp it to the firewall. The hole in the firewall is too big for the new cable (the nuts almost slip through it) so I made the stock clip fit the cable, and then clamped the nuts around it.

Stock Clip:

Shortened:

Enlarged hole to fit new cable:

Will clip into the firewall, and then i'll go to the inside and screw the end nut on to hold it in place:

Throttle body:
