Yea, they'll write it. It will get misinterpreted to get an advantage, a leak, perfect.

 

"I have the gaskets and RP, not my fault it leaks !! "

 

Saying it can't leak is just too much work.

Throttle body tightening torque, 14-19 ft-lb. Ya want to hang your cheating hat on that hook ^, have fun.

You got me.

 

I got my throttle body screws checked for torque in tech 3 times this year.

How about you?

:rotfl:

 

And of course if they are torqued and it still leaks it's legal, right ?

Lets not talk about a restrictor plate being a gasket, it's no more a gasket than the throttle body is a gasket. :bigsquaregrin:

 

I think I just blew a throttle manifold.

As long as it can continue to stoke the fire of "cheaty/crash spec miata" throughout the rest of the club, that's the narrative that's important here.
