On many automotive forums, questions abound about throttle body spacers and their potential to deliver serious performance gains. For an easy installation and relatively inexpensive part, it may seem like a no-brainer. However, many remain skeptical of the hype and denounce them as expensive paper weights.
Before we get into the debate, let’s first describe how the throttle body works. The throttle body is part of the air intake system in a fuel injection engine. The throttle body regulates the amount of air that flows into the engine based on input from the accelerator. Throttle bodies are most often located between the air filter and intake manifold. The throttle body is also often attached or near the mass airflow sensor.

Spanning
three centuries and three continents, The Royal Enfield motorcycle is still
alive and well. From Britain
to India
and back again.
Through necessity, and in common with most other engineering
companies of the day, Enfield
didn’t restrict themselves to one line. They also made lawnmowers, bicycles and
rifle parts for a Small Arms factory in Enfield.
A clue lies in their logo which depicts a cannon, which I have to say, is
infinitely better than a lawn mower. Their motto of Made like a gun, Goes like
a bullet’ is also evidence of their military involvement. In 1907, the company
joined forces with a business with the unlikely name of Alldays & Onions’,
to produce the Enfield-Allday automobile. Fortunately, the onion was dropped.
These cars remained in production until 1925.

Here’s how to drive green without burning a hole in your pocket. Go Green! Drive Electric!
Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. Scientists vary in opinions on when the actual occurrence would be.
Optimistic estimations of peak production forecast the global decline will begin by 2020 or later. Pessimistic predictions of future oil production operate on the thesis that either the peak has already occurred, we are on the cusp of the peak, or that it will occur shortly.

Their
factory had been destroyed by allied bombing, they were on the point of
extinction yet BMW rose to be one of the finest motorcycle manufacturers in the
world.
It was the Treaty of Versailles that changed the face of BMW. Up until the end of World War 1, BMW was a manufacturer of aircraft engines. Its famous blue and white circular badge, which is said to represent aircraft propellers in motion, being a reminder of the company’s past. The fact that the logo actually derives from the colours of the flag of Bavaria, and was used a good 12 years before BMW began to build aircraft engines, has done nothing to interfere with the popular myth.

From the Hayabusa to the Blackbird. Here are a few of the World’s fastest motorbikes.
Hang onto your hats; we’re going for a ride. The Superbike sector which was created during the seventies, would allow mere mortals such as you and I to ride something akin to the machines that our heroes use on the track. Of course we all ride sensibly, but to have that spare capacity in hand is something wonderful. Nobody’s had this much power between their legs since Marilyn Monroe died. I can hear you all screaming ‘Hayabusa’, but here are a few others that turn heads (quickly). To avoid favouritism, I’ve listed them in alphabetical order. You can make up your own mind.
