thanks for the help on the coolant resevior, ill prolly do that.

Can I just use a bottle or something as a coolant resevior? I want to do something custom.


Also I have the cable disconnected from the pedal assembly, I just need to get it through the firewall.
You can use virtually any container for the reservoir, just as long as you have it set-up properly.

If I remember correctly, I also had some trouble routing the cable through the firewall. It's been awhile, but I believe you have to push the cable into the cabin from under the hood. It's attached to the firewall grommet so you just need to push that rubber part thru until the whole thing is free from the firewall.

I'm not 100% positive (sorry, bad memory), but hopefully that helps.

ARC (and I'm not usually one to endorse JDM products) do a neat aluminium reservoir and oil catch can that mounts in place of the CC, res and bracket.

Make sure it's securely mounted and capped, with the overflow tube submerged. Also, don't forget to take into account that the coolant can get pretty hot, so don't use any cheap, thin plastic.

I just removed My cruise controll and it was a PITA!

FYI, it's alot easier if you remove the driver seat to work under in the foot well. Which i didn't...

zacs2K, did you remove the metal peice on the gas pedal? I removed mine. There was a lock washer which i had to cut off. Also do some grinding with the dremel since that peice was tapered. Then it slid right out. I didn't have to take the gas padel assembly off.

besides the unit in the engine bay what else is there to remove from the cruise control? Besides the buttons on the steering wheel obviously.

The steering wheel cruise control switches are wired to the steering wheel's "clock ring," and the wires are pretty short so it's not easy to relocate the switches off the steering wheel. I left the cc actuator cable in place, it wasn't worth the trouble.
