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.

Audi A3 Cabriolet 1.2 TFSI hits UK
Fri, 26 Mar 2010The Audi A3 1.2 TFSI Cabriolet arrives in the UK The Frankfurt Motor Show last year was – as is often the case these days – something of a ‘Green-fest’. We had BMW’s Vision Concept and the first outing for an Audi e-tron (is that really only six months ago?), but we also had the introduction of the smallest engine Audi have ever stuck in a car – the 1.2 TFSI. It may be the smallest engine, but it’s not the least powerful thanks to the turbo.
Land Rover cuts short Christmas break to cope with demand
Sat, 31 Dec 2011Land Rover workforce back early from Christmas After a boom year for sales at Land Rover, workers have been brought back from their Christmas New Year break early to cope with demand. 2011 has been a remarkable year for Land Rover. Perhaps the greatest achievement is to take the underpinnings of the Freelander 2 – a good car, but not the top of the list for fashion-conscious buyers – and turn it in to the style icon that is the Range Rover Evoque.
