If you use it on the road mate don't bother ,your better off with a rrc cut and a 70mm throttle body , box are poor quality as well

Yes, they looks exactly like my Toyota 4AGE throttles.
Why pay OBX for them, you get them very cheap at the scrappers.

yeah, after cutting up the intake, one could probably cut a honda intake in half and cut a toyota intake in half and have them tig welded together
and still be cheaper then the obx unit and use factory 4age parts

itb's do look the part, my next mini project i do, i want to do a 4age powered car,
ive always been a toyota fan since i watched the initial D cartoon
