do you have the link to the auction, i wanna see what the resistor looks like.

it's a 20 cent radio shack resistor. You are paying $5 for the directions, which are basically "stick this thing in there and tape it up with electrical tape."

I know you can't tell that these things are so gay and cheap until you get it, so it's not your fault, but in general, installing anything in your engine bay that needs to be secured with tape isn't the best way to go.

that's what i figured it was lol. The same capacitor I have wired up to my rear deck speakers.

kinda like one of those "mugen chips" that just flood your engine, killing your gas millage. ive heard people say they actually work, but id rather save my $5 and buy something useful

theres actually no pics of it on ebay but if you type in civic chip youll see a 20+hp in yellow

something like this ?

wow, i wouldn't buy from something like that even if i DID think that that "chip" was something other then a resistor. a picture of a mustang doing a burnout, several words misspelled... scary.

i have people coming into work ocaisionally who buy resistors to do this... i wanna smack 'em across the counter, and throw their bitch-asses out to their goddamn ricemobiles for ripping off other people like this.

sucks to need my job.
