Yep, extending the extenders.

First off, why i did this:
BC Racing calls for feeding the extenders from the rear strut towers to the trunk. However, that generally only works on the coupe. On the sedan, the strut tower exits inside the cabin just behind the rear seats. You can either drill another hole and run the extender into the trunk from there, or just have it exit directly up and behind the rear seats. The only problem is the provided extenders are too short for it, sedan owners will need at least another 2-3″ to clear it properly. This new length more than makes up for that.

I realize that some prefer removing the rear seats to make the adjustments, while others just set it once and leave it like that, both of which are fine. But, i want to easily adjust between DD and track. And, i also have two child safety seats that need to be re-inspected every time it comes off... so it's more hassle than its worth for me (yes, i keep them installed when daddy goes to have fun ).

Part used:
(1) Speedometer cable, this DIY uses a 38″ long one.
Any will do, so just pick the best deal and length you need. I went for a “gas scooter speedometer cable” on eBay for about $5 shipped to my door. If you find one with the metal-reinforced rubber sheath, all the better!

Tool used:
- Cable cutter

Steps:

1. Cut the ends of the speedometer cable.
2. Find the half-way point and cut it there, you will now have two identical length cables.
3. Remove the ends from your old extenders using the BC Racing supplied wrench and transfer over to the new cable.

That’s it!
