can i really get away with using the m52 throttle body or is it simply a bodge?

ive read on here ive got to slip a bit of metal between the TB and the manifold as its got two rubber seals facing each other that wont seal properly if i dont do anything. is that right?

No point, use the M50 throttle and cable for a better fit

You can either buy a car and frag it to death (you can't keep the battery, cat or shell)

Or you can walk around the yard and take what you want and then pay as you leave. How it should be.

i.e £10 for a wing, £25 for a complete door, £10 for a bonnet etc

i love my current scrappy for just that...you walk round, take what you want, go see stan (the dude who sets prices by whatever he feels like) and invariably pay dick all for it.

if you get crushed by a car or cut your arm off i'm sure stan would be compltely unfazed.
