air hose leak fix

["Kyle Chenier" <klyde67@domain.elided>]

I remember that this was discussed a while back, about the air intake hose 
tearing. where it attatches to the throttle body, mine tore (on the spider) 
. i wrapped it in duct tape until i could fix it. i remember someone saying 
that these parts are not fixable, but i found something that works. i 
removed the hose (the big black one) and removed the tape (which was working 
fine but look silly), and filled in the tear (it was fairly small) with rtv 
gasket maker and let it dry. hooked it up and no problems. its a lot cheaper 
than buying a new one (especially since it was someone else's rtv heehee). 
hope this might help someone who doesn't have the spare cash to order a new 
one.

cheers
