Throttle body elbow

Hope posting here might help, I've had no luck in the PARTS FOR SALE/WANTED section. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=682296
If you have a HKS throttle body elbow and need money, shoot me a price.
Please don't post just to tell me its a waste of time or a greddy is just as good. I like the HKS and would like to have one. Any help would be great.
Thanks, Joe

lol, hey what's up Joe. I remember you talking about that when you showed me your car. I have the GReddy one now, but I'll be damned if the HKS one isn't sexy as hell. Good luck on finding one. By the way I'm picking up my car from Banzai on Saturday

Ya, I've not had any luck finding one yet, but there has to be one out there.
I check out your build page and it looks great. Way better then the first time I seen your engine bay. Your really going to love it after its tuned. You have to take me for a ride after you tune it. You will run circles around my FD.

Yes, they said they would let me know if they find one.

If I don't find one soon, I might have to beg Alex to sell it to me.



Here's a new ploy, $20 reward for info that leads to a purchase.

good luck man. xs engineering have been around for a long time and are a very reliable company. i would keep trying to call them until you reach someone to talk to and verify that they still have that elbow in stock, since its a used/clearance item...

I got it !!!
It arrived yesterday, it's almost perfect. Most people use after market elbows to get rid of the hole in the back so that it don't have to be plugged. This guy drilled and taped it and put in a hose connector. I'm probably going to have it welded closed, but I have to decide if I am going to keep the injector holes for water/alcohol injection or just grind it down and weld that closed also.
All in all I have to say I'm very happy, I got it. I'm getting use to have to modify very thing that gets installed on my car even the "bolt-on" parts.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
Special thanks to apexFD, who found it.
Joe
