For the record, in the industry...
Change a component of an assembly, it's a new assembly. Change an assembly that goes into a car, it's still the same car.
Ok, it's stickier than that... If you change a component and it has NO effect on the fit/form/function, then it's not a new assembly. But given changes were made to FIX problems on the TB, it's a new part.
So yeah, there were like 4 versions of 2000 ZX3 TB's. Took them 4 tries to get it (sort of) right.
