Took apart a spare throttle body that I had, to clean it, so I can bore it out tomorrow at work and sandblast it before painting it yellow to match the intake manifold

The bottom of the hole tapers down to like 55 mm so I'm just boring it straight out so it ll be even all the way from the top to bottom.
So I still can use the stock throttle plate. No need to make custom one.

Bored this at work today, then sandblasted it and taped it up. I forgot to bring paint from home so I guess I ll have to wait all day to go home and paint it lol.
I made a new gasket for the idle air chamber to the throttle body since the old one crumbled away. I forgot to take a picture of it....

Didn't get the pun? lol, I guess technically the pun would imply that you are boring....the throttle body, that is! 
I'm not sure how I feel about this yellow scheme you got going on personally, but maybe because I haven't seen any of it together yet. Maybe purple to match your dash lights?
