CorradoDriver 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Im so bored with out being able to drive my car! Im still adicted to the car even though i dont have it, i found a 2.9 l intake manifold and a ported throttle body for $375, $100 for the throttle body and $275 for the intake manifold, do you guys think thats a good deal, i think with those two things the car will pull like crazy, any ideas?? Funny thing is my cars still busted up and im tring to make it go faster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickVR6 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Throttle sounds cheap and the inlet sounds expensive! Throttles here aroudn £100 exchange, but the intake manifolds machine polished seem to fetch only around the same up to £120. Suspect you will only notice the difference right at the top end of the rev range. I would do an exhaust and induction kit first, if you hav'nt already bud. Oh and as for thinking tuning when you should be thinking maintenance or repair, sounds like you have your priorities right to me ;-) thats the way i do things too, its much more fun :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 10, 2006 lots of valuable posts in here :oops: I'd concentrate on getting the car back on the road, these things never go to budget, so play it safe just incase a large surprise bill turns up you weren't expecting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoDriver 0 Posted October 10, 2006 true, im only dreaming, of course i am concentrating on getting it fixed, no purchases will be made untill i know whats exactly going on, how much do you think the front bumper would cost, i havent really seen any, i was thinking about getting the rs bumper to replace it instead of oem, rs bumper is lik 280 buks i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
