Nanglebadger Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 OLA folks, my wee bro came across this about a year ago, found it in my favorites. Anyone seen it before?? Is it a crappy gimic or wot?? Just curious, no intention of buyin one!!!! http://www.speedydelivery.co.uk/car-tuning...a-starlet.shtmlPhil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 i would say so mate yeah Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scutch0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 i tried one as my mate got two free with a phone holder off ebay.bag of shite is the phrase i'd use.Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 i asked a similar on gtt.com they all said stay away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It's a 5p resistor people! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 "bag of shite" quality performance enhancin gear then eh?? Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlackTarw Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yeah I've come across these before, a piggy back device is normally a tried and tested chip which alters the signal to and from the ECU to improve performance, not a cheap assed resistor. My guess is that it tells the ECU that it's getting more air than normal and richens the fuel supply (and I bet the fuel saver chip does the opposite!) to *maybe* get you 1-2bhp, but I'd be very wary of such a thing, better off getting it superchipped.I did find the fact the dial is fitted on a Ferrari funny, I bet it's not wired up!not a bad profit... 5p resistor sold for £30 * guliable chavs from max power = Ferrari 355 plus enough left over to stick a fake dial next to the gearbox to help advertise!*takes deep breath and climbs down off soap-box* :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 How do you think it "alters" the ECU? It's a resistor that slightly changes the voltage from the sensor, badda bing badda boom... instant power!The power mod is only £4.95 by the way, it's the variable power mod that's £29.95 (which will be a variable resistor... they cost slightly more from maplin :angry: ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hmmm, I sounded a bit "pro-shit mod" in that post.They are cheap pieces of crap. I might actually buy one and take it to bits... but they'll have epoxied the resistor to the board so nobody can see their "secrets"DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 LOL, Lobo's lookin out for our welfare, makin sure we dont wreck our cars with dodgey scrap, kinda like Watchdog!!!! :angry: Cheers mate.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 No I'm just planning on releasing my own line soon :angry: Lobo's instant power unit's, but mine will be £4.50 Gotta get rid of the competition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
