Anyone install Poweraid Throttle body Spacer?

[Allaidback]

I was just wondering if I should do this upgrade....also has anyone installed an intake system, rather than just replace the filter? I'm looking for suggestions...it looks like I ran out of stuff to do to my Runner.

the TBS doesn't do anything but make noise.

Im in the same position as you but it looks like you have none of my mods and i have none of yours.

Take some pics of your interior i want to see what it looks like and i could give you a couple of ideas that ive done

There's plenty of proof supporting the fact that TBS do nothing except lighten your wallet.

i would definately change the whole intake system. my tube is much lighter than the stock ones. you might need T vacuum adapter though.

there's alot of stuff i would like to do to my T4R also. i just want to take everything piece of my engine parts out just to clean but kinda scared i might mess it up. so i'm doing alot of interior designs. here's some few stuff i've done, i carbon fiber my armrest (link on my signature), i also carbon fiber my window switches just last night! here's a picture of the results. but you could do SEVERAL things to a car so good luck!

it's pretty simple. here's a picture. use a flathead and pop the 'FRONT' part up. then slide it forward because the back part does not have a clip. that's it! then unplug it. you can't go wrong when you plug it back in, each plugs are different. i got it from this website of how to take out your door panel which i plan to do soon since i'm getting new speakers. good luck!

sweet ok yea i got mine out now, i think im going to paint them with that textured spraypaint kind of like gunmetal. Is your carbon fiber just sticky paper? Also if im going to paint right, i sanded the plastic and cleaned it then primed then sanded again then painted with paint does that sound right?

 

[broncosi]

trd, do you know how to take off the paneling around the radio and what not too? if im painting the window trims then i might as well do that too.

my carbon fiber is a vinyl. meaning it's not any type of paper, it's more like a paper-like fabric. so i could curve it to the shape i want it by using a blowdryer. which it'll heat up and melt to that certain form. and about painting. usually for me, i just sand 2 types. hard sand to take out the paint then soft sand to make it smooth. after that, of course i clean it by wiping it down with water. then i prime and sand again with the soft sand. then i paint. after that, i would do another coat of paint so it won't be scratch or peel off.

the only thing i did was only the center column where the shift knob is at. i never took out the climate control/radio area before. i only took out the shift knob area only because i hid my neon light plus radar wires under it so it would look much cleaner. if you want i'll make a write-up about it. :

and sorry to get off topic. :arrow:

ill do it if you dont want to but how long do you think it would take to do a write up for basically everything a wood grain kit covers?

if you know what your doing then doing a write-up isn't hard. i did a write-up of how to change oil for my friends. and yes, i had to take the pictures with one CLEAN hand, and changing the oil with the other dirty hands. :

The true flow intake system really does work, and many have been happy with it.

how did you do the orange and blue lights in your center console?

 

[trd_style]

you just need to take out that piece and drill a hole. must be some buttons for something which i can't really see.

now that i think about what are those orange buttons for in the center?

 

[Allaidback]

LoL...Actually the lights are red...anyways the 3 operate 3 sets of fog lights and the other red light beside them is a stinger voltage led gauge.
