    guessing you could drop it in some throttlebody cleaner and use a wirer brush, but then again id also sujest just buying a new one
    Real cars don't power the front wheels, they lift them

    i paid no more than $60... and thats being very generous from either repco or bursons quite some time ago so a little fuzzy on actual cost, buy new and you know it will work. good luck champ

    It may seem a bit dodgey, but Petrol + wire brush then let them dry, rince with clean petrol should get you a few more months. Did it to a mates VS Instead of getting 12L/100km now getting closer to 10.4~L/100. Freeway Kms that is. Strange that mine does 650Km to a 61L of Lpg, Read 8.4L/100Km on the Trip computer. Ive done it to mine too....so yeah. my 2c.
