did a search to see what else would work besides the da cable, people mentioned the accord cable would work, but what year? Anyone else tried something else? what is the exact difference in length between the da and db? if you relocate the db cable inside the engine compartment, will you be able to use the db cable then? thanks!

 

i just got my jdm front on and i forgot to tell the shop guy that the da cable was in the trunk
he used one out of a civic

 

i said expletive the cable on mine kuz it was at a harsh angle and got hood pins. kinda ricy but if ur fast ppl can think what they want makes it easier to make money. beings that you did the conversion you prolly want it to look good tho. EK civic cable will work tho thats what WAS on mine

 

would that be the 96-00 civic? how much longer are they compared to the dc cable? thanks!

 

You could use your stock cable and just move it to the other side, it will just rest under the glove box and work perfectly. Thats what i did to mine and i had no problems with it and it was very easy to do.

 

thanks for the replies guys, by any chance will a 2000 accord cable work? or what year civic will work? thanks.

 

96-01 civic cable will work it will be a tad longer but u dont want it too tight so some slack is good to leave u room to play with. dunno about the accord but that should be long enough

 

thank you! honda accord hood cables cost 10 bucks at the stealership, much cheaper than the da cable which runs close to 40 bucks. acura sells you the cable with the pull handle.
