battery was disconnected/ecu reset maybe ? it might just correct itself after a good run if its only an idle issue ?

If its not scrubbing, its not low enough.
Sorted one problem and now have 2 more.
Turns out when i removed the carbon canister the two lines i joined together had come un joined, re-attached them and hazaa idle is fine.
Today went well... ish car ran amazingly its so nippy and i'm very happy with it. But heres problem one of two.
When driving in today ni went around a left corner in the wet got the car sideways and managed to spin, went up a curb backwards, span again, came back down and tombstoned one of my wheels against a curb and i mean really hard! Meaning one of my lovely steels is ruined and 3 of the tyres are in the same state, luckily the other 3 still spin true and aren't dented lucky escape. Nothing else appears to be bent either car still drives fine no unusual noises and no crabbing so good news. May need to buy another wheel of frank though.
Problem two, well advice really, i've bought a GA throttle body from Frank. (Yay.) But i have no idea how to fit it.
I'm guessing i take of the old ICV but i don't know what after that, do i blank of the hole?

lol, i had a mad spin in bluey once
shot up the kerb backwards, and cant believe i did,nt bend anything.kev sussed out the remote i/c/v properly (mine worked fine on lpg but not petrol, because of where i piped it in)
and no probs on the wheel, 14" ?

no i read it. just don't really know how you managed it? try not to be too hasty in future otherwise you could damage more than just a wheel!Read the post above the pictures.

normally cars don't just slip out though, unless your running plastic cheap tyres?
Just don't end up like this:

I'm taking this as concern not you being patronizing...
I was going a little fast not anything crazy, 50 around a corner easily doable at 60-70 and the back end came out i lifted off like you shouldn't and the back snapped around.
Its my fault luckily no one and nothing was hurt except my ego well and a wheel haha.
Anyone have pictures of the fitted ga TB?

Nope no patronizing here just concern for another MSC member.
The majority have all done it,
just some of us are lucky enough to not hit anything :wasntme:

It doesnt melt on RC car engines which glow so i don't think so, this is more unique and i don't have any spare sheet metal haha.
Got nothing to tap with annoyingly.... Can i not use one of the holes i covered up and bond the pipe into it?

as long as it clears the fuelrail

i guess it needs to "inlet" after the maf so that the ecu can sense how much air is going in, then needs to "exit" into the mani (any of the spare vacuum fittings)
follow the holes that the factory have designed into the t/b, and try to copy it eh
