I'm going to convert them to SXTB specs as it's just silly to make them an S1/S2.

So I'll have 2 SXTB's available for sale within a couple days. Cost: $390 + exchange for standard/regular throttle body. (I had to pay $80 ea for them).

Only for 95 or later 2.8 12V's manual or automatic

I also entered the body stamping number on the STB thread I created. One is a new number and one was a number already there.

Are they out of a auto or man? If auto, i'd like to upgrade my order. Thanks!

remember an automatic TB is a straight-swap to a manual car but you cant easily make a manual TB fit an automatic car.

a five figure tax bill in April, I will buy one of those babies!

Right now, I am headed for my annual April cash crunch. Ugh!

Maybe if I "brown bag" lunch, I can save $40 for a snub mount.

Sometimes, I hate owning my own business--I enjoy the work and managing others, but I hate the money part: administration (paying bills, payroll, etc) and federal government's taxation to wage internationally unsanctioned and Congressionally undeclared wars that result in outrageous financial costs (debts my 3 y.o. child will still have to pay off when she reaches my age) unnecessarry loss of innocent civilians and soldiers alike and the investment of the fruits of our labor into weapons of destruction instead of our crumbling national and social infrastructure. It sucks when the world is less perfect than your 170,000 mile car!

you'll just have to do what I and everyone else has done. Look! And 95 A6/A6 Avant seems to be the car you want to concentrate your focus on. I pulled both these off 95 A6's yesterday. One from a sedan and one from an Avant.
