I got my TB bore out also and all i can say is that nice improvement. Money well spend. I got my TB from Greg Thanks Greg.

I ordered mines on Wednesday afternoon, they sent it to me on thursday via overnight mail. I received and installed it today.

What a difference this makes, and yes this is money well spent. It pulls even better and this barely cost anything. Plus nothing was negatively effected as far as rpm idle or sound, so the car feels normal until you punch it.

All I can say is that Jim gave great service and the difference the bored throttle body makes can definitely be felt. Anyone contemplating the bored throttle body should really give it a shot.

I get my car tuned this weekend, FINALLY, and I can't wait to feel the results of all my modifications.

To fix it I had to grind the rotor a bit with my dremel here are some pics. I removed a little material where the green arrow and my finger are. I was worried about making the gap too big but upon inspection the original I noticed it does not touch at idle.

******EDIT******
Computer has kicked in and Idle is perfect

ok sorry i missed that...

also, for the s\c guys, the area that allows the air to come into the S|C or the stock intake manifold...its the same size as the stock Throttle body...correct? so wouldnt that need to be adjusted as well?

That could be correct, but it's up to you whether that is worth it. I know that some have matched the supercharger ports to the heads so that it flows perfectly. For my purposes, I have no desire to spend any more money on something that involved. I did the throttle body because it was a cheap, easy, quick and worthwhile mod.

I forgot to give props to the man that took the first chance on this mod for Solara's....Thanks Greg!

I just wanted to say I have had this thing for many months and it still is working great. No ill effects gas mileage is about the same and idle is perfect.
