No work got done last weekend on the car. Got into a fight with a grind and lost lol! Damn grinder disc came apart and flipped the grinder out of my hands. Burned the shxt out of my arm and will probably scar. That **** reminded me of road rash I use to get when I wrecked my dirt bikes back in the day. Anyway that motherfxcker was burning like someone was laying a torch down on it. I decided it wouldnt be to smart to sweat ***** sanding and getting it dirty. So I took a day off. Made the wife happy. This was a day after. YEAH!YEAH! I know!! freaking *****!!

Anyone looking for a bigger lsx throttle body check out JANTZER on ebay. He has a sell on them right now for 289.00 plus 13.00 shipping or make offer. I offered him 275.00. He did $290.00 shipped. I got a 92mm tb.




The piece is very nice but when I got it the plate was loose. It was also dragging on the inside of the bore. It took some sanding to make it right. And I locked tighted the tb plate bolts.

Good Luck on that one. I don't see it working to well but hope it does. Thought about using something similar on mine but no good.

YuP.
I had many of those. Thankfully NEVER as big as that. That will take a long time to fully heal and it will hurt like hell until its healed. Best thing to do is to buy a bunch of sterile gauze and Triple Antibiotic Ointment. Keep the wound covered with the T.A.O. Once it dries out, that's when its hurts like a Ma-Fo. I bet he has learned to use PPE. Ear plugs are cheap. Any hardware store will sell them.

Since I only skimmed through this build, I hope someone told him to ditch the flux cored wire and to get some .023 hard wire and a bottle of AG25. Good progress though. Just taking the front end off or dash is alot of work in its self.
