Much better warm and cold idle with an ETB and no need for an idle control valve.

I despise ICVs

I'd forgotten about that little issue.

I like my cable throttle/pedal combo and I think suits the iTBs rather than the SC due to the higher rev range as it has such a long travel (well mine does but then that could just be disappointing engineering).

I have now made the tools to set up the Saab cam sprockets so thats another job made easier, you just need to get the Saab sprockets Joe The 6 rib alternator pulley adaptor looks easier than I thought, so will make you one as well

i am very keen to keep the fbw tb as cable throttle introduces more potential issues/failures which i am not keen on.

Hmmm, cable vs etb. One nice thick, strong cable vs 8 flimsy little wires, two electrical sensors and 4 wiring plugs I know which way I'd go if I knew I wasn't pioneering.

You're one of 'Those' people I'll type slower in our coming chats



I love ETB's and a well calibrated setup should be totally transparent to the driver.

Jesus Joe, above 30mph are you hoping for the front wheels to be touching the tarmac?

[The Batman]

this is highest it will go! well saying that i can change the rake of it when on the road it is probably going to be on its lowest or whatever looks coolest hight front end, i have a JL Performance ( ) splitter and same canards, also very devating the idea about cutting BIG holes in the front bumper to vent air through the louvres man i should have bought a cat c or d

How did the discs get so rusty?

[The Batman]

no idea they are brand new but have ap bells and rotars to go on when i can be bothered but main plan now is to get it to a state where it is finished bar a few tweaks

[VXT Tim]

but main plan now is to get it MAPPED

[The Batman]

but main plan now is to get it MAPPED

list for step 1:

splitter
louvres
canards
finish off spoiler mounts (e.g. cut boot out and make it removeable!)
swap front V over
fit brake cooling pipes
fit undertrays and rear diffuser
fit clams

fairly easy tbh, i hope to have ALOT of this done this weekend!

That pic just reminds me I have to mail Jim@2bular for a bit tweaked version of its 2.5" silencer Nice spoiler btw, just do not fit the splitter when going to the dyno to get mapped
