DX works fine. If you're ****, get a GSR cable.

edit: I forgot, they are almost the same exact thing.

Yeah, weird. I'd keep trying, might have to route the line different or something. Never had a problem with the reach.

The cable itself is about 1" too long.
We set the nuts on the lowest setting possible, and when you floor the pedal, the throttle opens up about 10%.

We found fix for this however, but the stock one will not work as is.

Stock will work if you route it immediately to the left (facing the car) as it comes out of the firewall. It will work, but I would recommend getting the GSR throttle cable and bracket that mounts to the firewall. You can get both of them new from Acura for about $30. It's much cleaner looking and no chances of getting a sticking throttle cable.
