drew 007 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well it cant be that hard matey? i dont mind giving you a hand. You have my number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet1.3si Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 i assume, unbolt the old one, get new gaskets incase the others snap or flake off, then fit the corolla mani, think a longer vacume line is needed also, i could always come help you tommorow if you needed?

rob_bower Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It's pretty straight forward! Just awkward don't really need new gaskets tbh! Vac line should reach too! If I dont go down south sat I could do it if your struggling! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 the only issue i had was that the throttle cable doesnt quite sit right, so might have to do some bodging, but that may of just been mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Stop being a girl and get it fitted , you may need a new vacuum line, and you will definetely have to bodge something in for the throttle cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 a new throttle body gasket is a good idea. i always rip them when takin off throttle bodys because they get half stuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob_bower Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's pretty easy to make a bracket to bolt to the inlet so no throttle cable bodging is needed!! Grind off the old piece and bolt it on! I'm Off again on wed 20th if your still struggling drop me a pm! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
