Goodluck, it's very easy.

Quote from senn :'

funnily enough thats what i was taught too. Throttle body is essentially a restriction or control of the motors air intake (which is either physically or electronically linked to fuel input). Without it, would run flat out all the time..

Yeah yeah yeah. but one more thing; I think it's a physically controlled thing. There are a lot of these engines that probably don't have electronic throttle.

Quote from MAGGOT :Just like every single other piece of a car, they have more than one name. In North America, they are normally called Butterflies, and they do not 'help the engine get air through the scoop for more power.' They close during throttle-off to keep air from forcing its way in.



I've never seen this, myself. Seems odd to me, too. Anyone have an answer?

really? I thought it was to just help the engine get more air. I guess I leared that ir CONTROLS air movement. Pretty cool, thanks!

Morgan Aero? Otherwise, the guy above me is most likely right.

^^This is what you're looking at.^^

The butterflies are there to keep air from pushing into carbeurator/s when the throttle is closed. It helps the car run properly at part and closed throttle.

Scoop ==> Carbeurator/s ==> supercharger (blower) ==> intake manifold ==> Cylinderhead ===> KABOOM!!

hey thanks for the backup! anyway, I actually tried Google:wow: Also, I get loads of information from the dinner table when my dad and two brothers start talking. I learn so much from that place. Also, they are not called butterfly flaps. They are called throttle something (I will research that), and they help the engine get air through the scoop for more power. The supercharger on the other hand is a vacuum for the air (duh! forced induction).

Yeah, go AC. Or some random company is doing this, but they make Chevrolet Camaro bodies and frames that are ready for you. All you have to do is put the parts on it. Anyway, remember when they were in the BTCC?

Quote from Riders Motion :Why not do like every kid and get a Civic. They're cheap, reliable and will cost you a shitload to insure!

I agree on those, but they really cost bunches to insure? I for one never knew that. Probably cause they aren't my favorite cars.

Quote from trebor901 :Neither the RS500 or the saloon Cosworth had white and orange indicator bits. And its wrong shape to be the saloon and the RS500 didnt have indicator's next to the headlights, they were on the bumper.

Oh. My bad, I just saw one here, and the lights looked like one.
Quote from S14 DRIFT :It's one of those American things!

Not true! I made a mistake. I have only seen one once, so not my fault. Also, my family thinks their ugly! Whatever! They have no taste.

Quote from G!NhO :Yes i really love Jeeps, but with pain in my heart () i have to admit................. THEY ARE AS RELIABLE AS SHIT

My dad has lots and lots of problems with his '02 Grand Cherokee Overland

List of things that wrong with it in chronologic order
-Steering wheel isnt really ligned up with the wheels, pulls a little to the right.
-Some bearing in the front wheel makes noise.
-Airconditioning unit broke, so it constantly blew hot air.
-Few weeks ago the Airco lost lots and lots of cooling liquid which came inside of the car and made the carpet very wet, so we have no carpet in the car now, and it also got on the windows so it looked like they were very damp(?).
-Couple of days ago the radiator broke
-AND about 1 year ago we let built in a Gas installation, and even that now starting to shut itself of because there is something wrong with it.

I dont know about the newer Jeeps but the ones we always have are



What about a Dodge Neon or something similair to that.

it's just ware and tear. normal problems, or just poor care.

I have Pro Street for the PS2 (i am old school, and I am trying so hard to upgrade), and Pro Street isn't that bad. It's an ok game to play. Just one thing that is annoying is that I don't think you can easily hit 250 mph in a Skyline with 1073 hp in real life. Yes, my Skyline in PS has 1073 hp. I don't have a whole lot of proof, but come on a Skyline doing that speed?

Dude, get a Jeep! I already said this. So what if they are SUV's, you can do more with a SUV than a car. Besides, in winter you will need four wheel drive if it snows.

It's called an airscoop and blower. The air scoop is above the blower which controls air intake as you hit the throttle, and the blower BLOWS air into the engine (well, pretty much like a vacuum sucks air in). The Blower is also known as a supercharger.

Jeep! Always go Jeep! My bro and his friend got a Jeep Cherokee CJ for only $600. They both ran fine, they already have lifts and HUGE tires for them, and they are loads of fun. My bro gets 24 mpg, he goes mudding and rock crawling with them, and they have easy storage. Jeep Cherokees have loads of trunk space, a great engine (if you go 6 cyl.), and they hardly ever break down. Parts are easy to get, cheap (low money great quality), and people can easily help you on the Jeep forums. So, since you need a U.S. car thats reliable, fun, practical, and cheap but good quality, get a Jeep Cherokee. Make Sure it's a late 80's and early 90's one. Also, if you hit a tree with them and damage your fender, you'll get more respect. For a Jeep, body damage is considered cool. Besides, Jeep's are tough vehicles! Still, don't annilate it.

Quote from SamH :They're muting all the audio on videos you upload, with this music in them. Even, as happened to a friend of mine, if the music is just playing on the kitchen-top stereo in the background. Her entire video blog audio was just wiped.

Quote from AstroBoy :Am i the only one to notice that when he gets hit, he falls underneath the middle of the two trailers where theres a large enough space to fall under with minimal damage?
Thats what i noticed that is possibly why he is still alive. Just my thought though

I did notice that. still, thats a one in one thousand chance of happening again. Glad he is alive though.
