Default Help with Throttle Body Gasket!

I am in need of a throttle body gasket for my teg, I have a GS-R head with a Spoon throttle body and Skunk manifold. I have the gasket for a GS-R, but it has a piece missing for the fast idle control valve, which is not on the Spoon throttle body. Now I would just go to Acura, and get one for the Type R, but there is no Acura dealership around here, so I would have to ride out to Orlando, which is about an hour and a half away. There is, however, a Honda dealership right around the corner from me. Does anybody know if there is a Honda gasket I could use? Please help me so I can save a trip.
-Thanks

Try using a 99-00 Si throttle body gasket.

the Spoon TB should have came with a gasket if you bought it brand new. mine did..
if not then try Len aka iloveracing on the board. He can get OEM parts pretty cheap for you

I got my Spoon throttle body used. I am currently using the GS-R gasket, but it is leaking because it doesn't have the fast idle control valve and it idles up and down between 1200-2200 when i come to a stop. Any ideas on Honda throttle bodies? Does the 99-00 Si have fast idle control valve? What about older Del Sol Vtec's?

Ok, enough with the guess work.

Call up Len @ Barranco Acura and order an ITR t/b gasket.

He'll take care of you.
