Hi Everyone, I hope you'll undulge me with some noob questions, and especially those that I could answer for myself if only it wasn't dark and wet outside...

- What is the bore of each Speed 6 throttle?
- which of the two exhaust downpipes corresponds to which manifold? (I have a misfiring and farting right pipe, smooooth left)
- Where is the engine ECU?
- With the Lupo headlight conversion, how is adjustment accomplished? They appear to be servo controlled.
- Am I right that there's no euxiliary air control for cold start to ensure consistent idle?
- does anyone know the OD of the standard downpipes where they meet the original rear box? (My car appears to have fractionally larger pipes, just to be annoying)
- What is this sensor?:



Thanks for taking the time, I'm sure to come back with more dumbass queries...

Easy, tiger...

It doesn't match the oil or water senders I found online when I looked erlier, bit looks like an old school mechanical sender judging by the "wire":



Ah. Here we go

Well that answers one question I forgot to ask - the temp sender is actually part of the engine and not in a pipe, so one can trust it!

Here's another one, why is the V8 referred to as "the AJP" when both the speed 6 and 8 are AJP engines?
