why won't the throttle body fit?

maybe sell the aftermarket one. and just get your stock one polished up. there's a few how to's on how to do that on here. and probably a thousand and one on the internet. or find a machine shop to do it for you. i only suggested that route as its keep stock, everything fits and your not looking for any HP gain any way?

PLus you will probably need an aftermarket throttle cable to match . You will lose Cruise control if you have it .

big plenum and standard twins= LAG.

Even my mate with his big single the large intake manifold raised the spooling point by 700 revs. Allthough it did breathe alot better up top. He has since removed manifold and reinstalled standard manifold

whats in my profile is what i have already done to my car ive been told the body kit came from a company in sydney which must of shut down after making only a couple the kit, mischief motor sports are the company and the body kit is phanton marked underneath the side skirts and rear bar. it was already on the car when i got it minus frount bar ill put a photo up of it. back to the plenum i wount have the twins buy the time my car hits the road and when i get the new intercooler pipeing made up to suit it will be shorter than what was there before so that will help with getting air there quicker. ive polished the everything else in the engine bay and for the price i got the plenumn for while in was in america its not worth spending all the time on polishing the standard one plus im building my car up for show and a chromed aftermarket plenumn i think will always look better.

with your throttle body. could you get an adapter plate made up rather then getting a total after market one?

shouldn't be hard or expensive for a machine shop to make you one, then just get it chromed as well to match.

p.s is that door opening backwards?
