Did the tb spacer do anything for sound? I put one on an integra i had in high school an i made it whistle lol. On my jeep i have now i ported my tb and it whistles too. I was debating on gettin the spacer but if you cant feel a diff and it hasnt even helped fuel economy then ill just skip that modd. You need a bumper like mine and some armor my dude, check the build in the sig. I had a silver one and now im in a black one

I'd turn you away from the tb spacer. I can't say I've felt a diff and if I could I'd return it so my intake has a proper fit. Unfortunately I toss my ome bolts to my tb I'd like to get rid of the tb spacer (but at a hundo loss it's staying) and get the bored tb... Wanna trade

Oh and my intake whistles, the tb spacer alone did not... Not really a fan of the whistle, kinda annoyed me at first but now I just pay it no mind

Well thanks a lot man! I appreciate the the kind words. I will say this though, i didnt get to where i am by accepting my limits. Pushing your limits and tackling new tasks are how you learn. Well its how i did, along with the idea that its all metal and it can all be fixed if i mess it up lol. Ive started selling bumpers i make. If your interested id be glad to fix ya up with one any time. But anyways dont be afraid to go after some of the harder jobs. You might find some of it to be a lot easier than you expected.

As for the throttle body, i really didnt see much gain from porting mine. It was kind of a let down for all the work that went into it.

Nothing good to update

Found out my u-joints are going bad from a mechanic... Says he'll replace both of them for $60, kinda low haha makes me think my newb *****(with a very high willingness to learn) can do it myself. Time to hit thee ol books.
Also thinking about replacing my o2 sensors, but apparently I have 4 and at $45 a pop not to sure if I wanna tackle that all at once, might just do them one ata time as I find them haha
