    guy down the street from me walked do to my house today while i was cleaning my garage, said he had gotten a bunch of parts from a friend for his S10, in the box was a brand new poweraid throttle body spacer for a 3.4 tacoma..i told him i'd give him $30 for it and he said sounds good.

    i did some searching on the forum, generally everyone thinks they are useless, but just give alittle bit more sound. my engines pretty much stock.

    any other opinion on it? i figured for that kind of deal couldnt pass it up, web page says $140

    thats what i was thinking, the guy who sold it to me i feel bad for, $30 helps the kid out. he's one of those guys who's head just isnt on straight, cant get a job, always getting himself into trouble by mixin himself in with the wrong people. i gave him a bunch of info on free GED courses while he was over, hopefully he can get his shit together.

    Not going to do anything but add some color to your engine bay. I would try to resell it on Ebay or something. It isn't worth the time it takes to install.

    Yeah I thought it would ne good to get one a few years back. Waste of 60 bucks but its stays on cuz I'm to lazy to take it off plus I didn't didn't effect my mpg or power as far as I can tell.

    And I would also resell it if I were you

    I just hope it works out for him. He's 20, has a 3 year old that his ex girlfriends parents won't let him see, he can't get a job because he doesn't have a diploma, can't get a drivers license, just keeps on getting arrested for dumb stuff. I just hope he does this GED class. I really think it'll make a difference for him

    Kinda reminds me of a friend of mine, he was on beyond scared straight. deep down he wants to go into the military and everything else but the outside, he's just caught in the moment. Kinda blows but i guess time'll do it's thing?
