40 Mm Borla/twm Throttle Bodies on 2040-parts.com
Allenhurst, New Jersey, US
These three Borla/TWM throttle bodies were bought by me from TWM, for my 1971 Series II XKE. The photo of them installed is on the car. They work great. I had originally run 45 mm throttle bodies, but they were too big, leading to very poor throttle response. The 40 mm units worked well, giving me crisp throttle response, with NO reduction in power over the 45 mm units we built the motor with. They are for sale because I switched to a Mangoletsi Manifold system to get rid of the horrid Jaguar rod throttle system original to the car. These throttle bodies were on the car for about 500 miles, ie. about a year. They made 305 hp, and 345 lb/ft of torque , the same as the 45 mm units.

Mountune will upgrade your Focus ST, Fiesta ST
Tue, 10 Dec 2013UK-based Ford tuner Mountune set up shop in the U.S. just a couple months ago, and is already offering upgrades to the Ford Focus ST and the Ford Fiesta ST. Mountune is Ford's official partner in Europe, and their experience goes back 30 years Mountune comes from a slightly different branch of Ford tuning that North American buyers are used to -- their specialty has been tuning Ford's smaller cars in Europe rather than muscle cars, and they've worked on everything from Escorts to Focuses (though perhaps not the Escorts and Focuses that we're used to).

Classic Lamborghini video surfaces
Mon, 26 Jan 2009The Lamborghini of today is a far cry from the Lamborghini of old. Starting life as a tractor maker, Lamborghini cars came in to being when Ferruccio Lamborghini complained to Enzo Ferrari about the clutch on his new Ferarri. The dismissive response was that “the fault is with the driver, not the car”, and so was born Ferruccio Lamborghini’s resolve to build a car to take on the might of Marenello from his factory in Sant’Agata (incidentally, when Lamborghini took apart the transmission in question, he discovered is was the same unit he was currently building in to his tractors!).
