Hey Magoo!

Not much going on in New England right now. I hope to have a mod meet in May, too many things going on right now to do it this month.

Head to the track yet this year?

**Chris6** · 4-4-09, 10:38

Probably not up your alley but HIN is at NED this year so thats a must

But I've been real busy with school and trying to do some small stuff to my new car on weekends. I just cleaned up my Volk Imitations and ready to throw them on my car. Just need some new locking lugs. Warmer weather awaits!

**magoo978** · 4-6-09, 6:16

i havent been to the tracks yet. i dont want to go up there yet. still slacking on putting that ZE IM and headers on. lol
i will probably head to the local junk yard to pick me up a throttle body an IAC from a mellienia sometimes this weekend.
well maybe when we have that met. we can try to get that done.
but if it's goin to be a long project, then i'll save it for another day.

I was going to ask if you found that IAC yet. Good luck on that. Once you do have it, we can definitely do the install at a mod meet.

In fact, I still have a ZE straight neck to put on Jess' car so we can have a ZE IM install mod meet.

I'm pretty far from the cape, 90 minutes or so depending on which part. I'm right off Exit 11 of the Mass Pike.

Unfortunately, I'm not positive.

You have it now though, so why don't you go test fit and make sure the holes line up. It has recently come to my attention that the physical throttle body opening is different on the curved neck versus straight/DE. Having never inspected one in person, I had always thought it was just the IAC which was different, but I was wrong.

Let us know.

**magoo978** · 4-8-09, 11:51

here are some pix of what i got.
mind you that everythin is off the TB is because i took it apart for cleaning.

That's definitely a curved neck IAC as the connectors are on the other side.

So bolt the TB up, tell us if it fits. Tough to tell from the separate pictures. That curved neck TB opening sure looks different though!

**magoo978** · 4-8-09, 18:28

yes jeff...
it does fit like a glove...

so what do u think???

**Fastest95PGT** · 4-8-09, 22:06

I think you'll be installing that at my house in a month or 6 weeks or so.

**magoo978** · 4-9-09, 6:07

sounds like a plan jeff. just let me know.
