    Bored throttlebody group buy

    After visiting the body kit guy, I went down to the machine shop that does custom stuff. I took in my JG throttlebody and a stock one and to make a replica will cost roughly $150-$175US (if you bring in your own) including a new plate for the center. I think that's pretty damn good considering JG was charging something like $250US. So what I was hoping to do was setup a group buy and hopefully get 5-10 guys so the price is as low as possible. Like the cams, the guy said it's the setup time that takes the longest so if we bring in a bunch, the set up cost is spread out over a bunch of people. Is anyone interested and if so, when would be a good time frame to do this?? If other throttlebodies are simular, maybe I can find guys with different Honda motors to join as well. They can also do adjustable cam gears but I have to take one in so they can see how to go about doing it and then give me a quote.

    Sold on the throttle body. Let me know when you need the cash and I'll send it on. As for the cam gear, get me a price and I will probably be in on that too.

    Just got a new job after being out of the workforce for the entire winter... I'm ready to get back to working on my car

    I also have a TB if no one has come thru yet...I think it's JDM, but not 100% positive. In fact, if there's anything you need on the intake manifold, I have it.

    I would like a bored TB but do not have one to send. Is the JDM TB different than the A20's?

    Sorry for the late response. My hands are a bit full right now but I promise to put together a buy in the next few weeks for sure. I don't want to say go ahead and send the stuff when I can't promise to take care of things promptly. I also have to finalize the price. I will make a detailed post of the requirements and stuff very soon. Other Honda TB's shouldn't be a problem.
