These parts suck!

[fowljesse]

Let's make a thread about all the useless parts out there.
If you bought something, or know FOR SURE that it's a waste of money, put it here, and exactly why you think so.


I'll start with the electric supercharger. It does produce some "boost", just like your hair drier. It doesn't produce enough to make any difference in performance, and since it's single speed, it will actually block the airfloww at driving RPMs.

Drop Zone, and other cheap coil-overs.
Bad ride, and very clunky!

Any device that is supposed to spin the air for better MPG.

"The Chip" Any chip that plugs in.. forget it! "It only raises the resistance on the coolant temp sensor, which advances the timing, and adds more fuel....which is fine when the engine is cold, but when it gets hot...boom." - Se7en



Please add yours!
I'll update this list often.

Yeah and cat blood makes your fuel a higher octane level... Dont buy ANY! Cyclone or Tornado air intake devices.

What about the "chip" that connects to the IAT and produces 30+HP instantly......

[fowljesse]

Yeah. I want more info about it, though. It makes your CPU think it's running cooler, or something?

[tehbrookzorz]

It's called a resistor.

lol we should make this a faq for n00bs and make it an informational topic

Today, I invented something that makes you car have 100% more power.

It's called a kley. In case you wondering, I called it a kley because it looks just like a key, but it is different.

It you are a sucker, than this is for you..

It lives up to it's claim, 100% more power than when it's not installed in the ignition..

Also, the faster your car, the faster kley makes it....

oh yeah,,,I spelt it wrong...it's actually spelled 'key'

What about the "chip" that connects to the IAT and produces 30+HP instantly......

i have this ... and i really cant say if it is a hox, since no one can help me out with the wiring.
I need to find wich one of these wires sends the info to the ECU :

don't install it outlaw, it only raises the resistance on the coolant temp sensor, which advances the timing, and adds more fuel....

which is fine when the engine is cold, but when it gets hot...boom.

if u tell me that i shouldnt install it, ill trust u ...
but maybe can i get some ideas for another thing i can plug into ?
I mean... the button is allready in the dashboard ... and i dont really like neons and lightshow ....
what should i connect it to ? maybe i should plug it to an eject button for some parts ... that way when i press RACE MODE, the A/C, back seats, spare tire and other stuff get's ejected from the car

[se7en]

lolz

[OutlaW]
