20hp?!?
 
Does this sound really fake to any one else?

sounds like a scam to me

T-Shirt Ninja 24-Aug-2003 08:34 PM

Yea sounds like a scam, I really dont understand what he's selling, a resistor and instructions?

punkindrublic 24-Aug-2003 08:42 PM

i can sell you a resistor and some instructions for $10 :thumbup:

Quick_CX 24-Aug-2003 09:04 PM

what the **** is that???...he has a pic of a valve cover....what is he selling 20 hp eh...

Brett 24-Aug-2003 09:32 PM

I want the VTEC light its going to give instructions for. Then not only we i feel the vtec but see it to!

imported_Joker 24-Aug-2003 09:59 PM

i thought he was selling a valve cover that increases hp by 20

You want a a vtec light.
Check out www.g2ic.com, go to teg tips and under interior select 'Adding A VTEC Light'

Brett 24-Aug-2003 10:09 PM

no, im only joking about wanting a vtec light, just having it is good enough for me!

Brisk20 24-Aug-2003 10:22 PM

huh wonder why no one has bid on it... scam scam scam... wish he was telling everyone what they were bidding on

93hatchcx 24-Aug-2003 10:27 PM

scam, its an imaginary 20 hp with this piece of paper your engine will think its got 20 extra hp.... thats what i gathered

imported_Urbanconcept 24-Aug-2003 10:44 PM

Brett, where do you come up with this stuff? Thats a MAJOR scam. Notice how it says at the bottom "no refunds or exchanges under any circumstance"... sketchy is what that is.:mad:

The G2 Racer 25-Aug-2003 06:41 AM

Personally I never use Ebay. I rather use company websites especially if they're registered with the BBB.

imported_gatherer 25-Aug-2003 09:34 AM

it said up to 20 hp... so this resistor if it adds say 1 hp then it lives up to it's job ... thats 1 hp anywhere on the RPM graph ....

SpikeyLee 25-Aug-2003 09:50 AM

The way how it never really describes what you're purchasing besides "a resister and information" makes it sound kinda iffy to me. He'll also probably get you to tighten your throttle cable so you don't have to push on the gas so hard and some people will be like, "Whoa! Extra power!"

And if you use the Buy it Now option (which is $1 more than the starting bid) then he'll give you a free one?? Whatever it is, it can't be much if they're practically giving it away!

imported_Cablerat 25-Aug-2003 02:51 PM

read the buyer reviews.. lol

T-Shirt Ninja 25-Aug-2003 05:10 PM

After reading the reviews it seems to be a resistor for the Air intake sensor or something...no power gains but hardly any money anyways

red90dx 25-Aug-2003 06:21 PM

Brett, If you want a VTEC light, just tap in a wire from the vtec solonoid, (OR OFF THE ECU PIN) into a "led" or bulb, then the other end of the bulb into a ground, when the ecu trips your vtec engagement, boom VTEC light.

lordm 25-Aug-2003 06:34 PM

they lie a resistor is basicly what it sounds like. it resist's things so how could this be in any way a power booster

Brett 25-Aug-2003 08:48 PM

I just wanted to see the reaction to this "thing" browsing ebay can be quite amusing! You could you this resistor in a circuit to bump up the amperage i think (schools getting kinda dim now) which might give you more power some how... I really don't want a vtec light though, i just noticed it in the sale and thought it was a funny sounding idea seems kinda pointless to have... maybe show it off to ignorant people...
