Andy665 0 Posted August 29, 2005 ...put your frustration to good use. I got myself a spare throttle body and have found it strangely soothing today, porting and polishing - not finished yet but looking and feeling a lot better than it did when I started Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy665 0 Posted August 29, 2005 No pics as not finished it yet, decided its not polished enough inside and it needs a damn good clean on the outside Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted August 29, 2005 have you done both halves m8? you can venturi the end of the entry bit,i did this and used it on the car with the other half left standard. gave a noticeable difference in throttle snappiness! click the link in my sig if you wanna check the pics out :) neil.

Andy665 0 Posted August 29, 2005 What particular Dremmel bits did you use to grind away and polish, everything I used seemed to last a couple of minutes before disintegrating - your pics have given me something to aim for now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted August 29, 2005 i had the same problem m8 :( i used the bits with emory paper on,and also tried the grinding stone things... in the end i found it easier to use a file! then moved on to rough emory paper/sand paper/wet n dry getting smoother/fine wire wool and then a metal polish such as autosol to finish 8) hope this helps. neil.
