I apologise to all the followers of this build, basically what has happened all the heating specialist have failed me and for the past week i've been installing copper pipes, in the meanwhile i've bought a another car, (small japanese k car) for hauling things around, it has to pass is safety exame soon so i have to put couple of days in it before i start the mi16x4 teardown, no worries i'll write soon as things move along.

Unfortunately the hard drive died on my pc and lost many photos and that what i'm not on the forum, my backup is a old laptop that is very very slow, it is still winter here but it is a mild winter 12-15 degree celsius, the deal with the small car it is very cheap to register and insure, and the streets in my city are small and my daly driver is a peugeot 605 which is big by europe standards so i can use it to keep the mileage down on the 605, i may post the installation of a LPG (propane) conversion which am in the process of planning to install.

Happy to say that i got my garage back i install the entire heating system myself, and clear a space in the garage, tomorrow i have to do some work on the small car, i have to change the rear brakes, handbrake cables, door carts, seats, control arm, tie rods,engine mounts, front and rear bumpers need bodywork and paint, it seems to be easy to work on, will see how long it takes.

Thank you Rabin, ingenuity is my way of life, my PC's hard drives died without any warning and i lost all my photos documents all gone, used my back up laptop, it also died, i've just got my main pc running, so i'm back posting, in the meanwhile i've been working on this kei car to get it thru its safety test, it needed a whole lot more done than i thoat : new ignition, all new interior, rear brakes, intake and thermostat gaskets,suspension bushings, rust in rocker panel and whale in there full service belts, oil, filters repaint the bumper, undercoat and install lpg system, couple more days to finish it and to get it out of the Peugeot garage.

I was on the fence for using the audi throttle body because the restrictor in the top, i wanted to bore it out but there is not enough material on the sides, so when i've seen this throttle body with removable restrictor, i got it, clean it and remove the restrictor it also has some type of diffuser on the smaller flap and a idle shock absorber, which i plan to remove, i like the crisp throttle response with quick idle for better heel-and-toe, the plan going forward is to change the small flap shaft, knife edge the center divider and give it a polish.
