wannaspeed TB O-Ring
Hello, just curious if anyone has experience with these O-Rings.
93+ RX7 throttle body o-rings [TB-Oring-rx7-3] - $3.00 : Wannaspeed.com!, For all your Go-Fast Needs!
I searched and came up with no info on this particular product. Just want to make sure their quality and don't leak. We have expensive cars and for how many times the UIM and everything comes off I look for ways to save some coin. Call me cheap if you want haha. 9 bucks for 3 is better than 66 for 3 haha.

I've had encounters with that O-ring slipping out and it Pisses ya off when you get a Leak.
I made up a Gasket that I can see.I slip it on the throttle body studs and No more leaks..Plus it doesn't matter IF I have an O ring or not,it will seal up.

Referring to the gasket attached to the UIM and TB, I believe some cars may still retain the older style gasket which was made of some sort of rubber and not metal.
I know this because when I was working on the car last year the gasket was broken on the thinner areas and was very flexible.
If you buy a new one from the dealer (preferably Ray Crowe) then yes the gasket is made out of metal and can be reused.

an old o-ring can be unreliable. I'm not sure about the wannaspeed one, but wannaspeed has a water/meth injection kit that a lot of people like.
If it's falling out on you, just use something to hold it in in the groove. I like using Crisco (white stuff in the blue tin), which also works well on engine coolant seals.
