Gentlemen,



   I've been following these discussions regarding the slide throttle and
   wondered if anyone knows about the slide throttle that BMW made for the
   M3's back in the late 80's early 90's in the DTM series in Germany.

   I can't figure out from the pics how the mechanism works. It appears
   that the sliding component is a metal (aluminum or SS) plate with some
   Teflon coating?



   Also found another link to a discussion on slide throttle and barrel
   throttles.  Can someone elaborate on the barrel throttle and how it
   operates.

   Please right click on the pictures and "save as" jpgs.
   Send the jpgs as it is too hard sometimes to find the
   things you are talking about.

I would prefer that instead of email the jpeg, people email a link
directly to the jpeg...  Right-click on the image and select "Copy Image
Location", or if it's a link to an image, select "Copy Link Location"..
At least that's what the selections are on Mozilla on Linux.  Saves
people from getting email bombs.

Matt-

The trouble with that Matt is some of those links/URL's are so long
they wrap as they go through various sites on their way to
us. Half the time that does not work. I could be wrong about this
as I have never received one like that as far as I can recall.
Send me one and we will see what happens.
