Does this only happen to me

[GearBangnAccord]

Every goddamn time i go to repair one thing something else break WTF. So what happened is really irronic check this, about a mth ago i was installing a shitload of parts just getting my "Liv" up to par for the winter so i had to replace my brake M/C no prob started undoing the bolts "SNAP" broke one, so now a new B.Booster is necessary cuz the bolt that can bolt down w/o da stud. Obtained a new booster (FREE) an decided tonite i will replace it along with the B M/C i never got to install an service my C M/C which i noticed was really dirty from on the inside connected to the pedal. Now here were it goes down to get the booster out i had to remove that little valve thing i believe is the IAC it held with 2 10mm bolts. For some reason 1 of the f'ing bolts snap, i finish up installing everything including the IAC w/o 1 bolt an fire her up to hear that annoying vacuum leaking idle ughhhh soooo mad.
So now i stuck with the delema of replace my TB with one i have in my trunk or to just tap an die???
Sucks huh how i go to fix one fuck up w/ another so irronic i h8 rusty puny bolts
But on the plus side my brakes work great now no sinking when i really need to stop which sucked cuz u cud never go really fast w.o being sure the brake dont sink, havent bled the C yet ran out of fluid while i was @ it i use a wire wheel an my dremel an cleaned those suckers up so shiny now anyways that was my nite 4 hrs of irrony!!

either way has its pros and cons

you drill and re-tap
it might not last long or more stuff could get effed up
then you will be in the same position your in now
but it will be less money!

or you could just buy an h23 upper plen
and a gasket
and bolt it up?

your call

H23 plenum comes off wut yr lude wonder if i can find one @ the JY this week

Get a can a PB blaster and spray bolts and nuts before removing. When removing if you feel it get stiff then tighten a few threads, respray and move back and forth to work into the threads. Less likely to break shit that way. If your confidnent with drilling and tapping, or installing helicoils, remove the throttle body and do it. But if you go with the h23 plenum and tb swap it will be fixed with a nice little boost in power. You can get a complete h23 intake for about $40. Look around, I just bought my h23 intake on fleabay for $20.

Good luck, and go get some PB blaster.

Also, if decide to extract your iac bolt and the threads look decent you could put some Permatex #2 on the threads of the new bolt to ensure it doesnt leak.

Sigh, maintenance>mods. Atleast your doing stuff that actualy is good for your car now. As for the dilema, just use the one in your trunk and buy a new 1$ gasket for the tb if the one that was on it is cracked.

Ive had several stories like this myself. One time The 02 sensor for a Lancer Evo was too close to the heat shield and melted, and kept blowing the fuses, we had to relocated the damn thing about 5 times before we got it to a place where it would not melt the factory 02 sensor. Now I know why I never wanna own a mitsu again
