That'll be what the second throttle cable is for, I wondered why it went to the front of the engine rather than the rear.

Yep. Both the cars in my sig have cost me an arm and a leg, but then i guess that's the price you pay for being in love with E30's. There's some pictures of my engine bay in the "PUB TALK SECTION" iunder the heading "WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?" :wink:
