I have never personally taken apart the TB but it shouldnt be that hard.
hardest part will prob be getting the butterfly out, but i really have no idea.
never even looked at a tC TB before. haha

i think the hardest part would be to find another butterfly that would fit it well enough to work with the port/polish....

i think you should look into another throttle body, there is a guy on here that used an RX-8 throttle body that he got to work on the tC

also, messing with your camber will effect all other alignment specs, so dont try to do it yourself unless you want some weird tire wear.

take it somewhere and have it done professionally.

stealership

and x2 on the adjustable camber bolt.. stock bolts go up to -1.5* on stock height.. of course it will vary depending on the height of your ride.

the tires should have a pressure rating on them, and it should also be on the sticker on the driver side door sill.
