q45 throttle body (90mm) with greddy adapter plate is cheaper then that, far cheaper. $80us for the throttle body

search ebay, erics performance parts sold me my kit when the $'s were equal (aussie:usa)

I think you'll find that is the one RIPS use. I have been using one for the last 12 months and there is not a thing wrong with them. They do everything a t/b should.

Sigh we have had this discussion before!!! :O

The only reason you would need a 100mm throttle body is if you are making 800hp or more. I'd even say that 100mm TB is not needed until you tip over the 1000hp mark.

fark mang 100mm = street cred!

It's for a RB24 drag motor. I have two goals: single digit 1/4 pass and 750+whp. My builder seems to think 1000hp is do-able and I tend to believe him since he's making 800+whp with a Ford Pinto motor but, I'll be happy with 750.

In that case, that TB will be perfect for what you need

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
