    Default Original throttle body + plenum

    Would anyone be interested in an original throttle body and plenum?
    It still has the Pony symbol attached, but the throttle sensor has been used on the Accufab I replaced it with.

    As I now decided that the Accufab works fine for me, this has become surplus to requirements. I will put it up on ebay next week with a starting price around £75.00 but before I do that I would like to give the people in the forum a chance.

    If you are interested and willing to make a sensible offer, please PM.

    I'll collect offers for a week and it will go the the highest bidder on the 16th this month. If no offers it will go on ebay.

    Thanks

    (PS. you can always take your chance on ebay )

    No chance of getting £75 for it, they go for as little as £10 on ebay america, i still have mine sat in a draw after fitting an accufab and just holding on to it as i doubt it would sell.

    Agreed. It's not a part with much that can go wrong, so anyone in the market for a replacement is likely to be looking to upgrade. Mine is kicking around the garage somewhere too. In reality, it's essentially worthless.
    You polish yours if you want to. I'll be driving mine!

    That solves that question then. Think I leave it in the garage as well......

    Left mine on the garage floor at Dreadnought yesterday. I am pleased to say that having driven the 400 miles home it is now and forever surplus to requirements.

    I certainly am.

    397 bhp and 445 lbf-ft of torque according to the rolling road. Bloody marvelous!

    I must admit that I was a bit disappointed with the performance when I first got the car. Talking about the Mustang engine in the pub was about all it was good for. The Dreadnought conversion is not a modification. It simply turns it into the car it should be.

    Anyone who is thinking of selling their 260 and wasting even more money on another vehicle. Should spend it at Dreadnought. I don't think I have ever driven a better road car.
