Default Throttle type question

Hi All,

I recently bought a Spec C manifold with everything on it for a straight swap.

Almost 7 days later the a**ses have just sent me an email saying that the only one they have left has the electronic throttle on it and not the wired one I actually bought.

Now I'm assuming that this is no good at all as the wiring loom etc are all different. Is this correct?

Andy

yes.. but can you not use the throttle body off your current engine?

I've just asked for a refund,

Everything together was £660! I'm not paying that to still have to swap my loom and throttle body over, might aswell just buy the Spec C manifold on its own for cheaper.

Thought Spec Cs were solely 2 litre cars which only use the cable throttle?

Also, not all Spec C manifolds are one piece items.

I don't know mate,

There is a bit of a language barrier between me and the seller so I thought it would be best to ask for a refund.

The manifold in the picture certainly had a cable throttle, but in the email he stated that it didn't have it and asked if i would accept one with an electronic throttle.
