smudgedon Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Got one on the car already courtesy of the previous owner. What are people's views on them? I dont like the look of it, but are there actually any benefits/noticeable gains? A lot of people in the States seem undecided.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olliecrx Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Any ones I've seen on civics etc all tended to be cheap and actually caused more issues with grounding than solved. Aesthetically pleasing but not really necessary. Cheaper ones had some seriously dodgy battery terminals causing arcing etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Arran loves his one! He said it felt really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'm sure a trader on here (don't hold me to this but possibly Horsham) did some tests, it showed less electrical noise, and possibly a smoother idle (possibly for higher mileage vehicles). Benefit, if you think it might help any other issues. Worth it, not for the point of performance. Looks, if you like that sort of thing. Will you notice anything if you removed it, possibly not.

Arran Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 My kit from Horsham definatley mate a difference mate, I had a slight fluctuation in idle every 30 seconds or so, that went straight away as soon as I fitted the kit, seemed smoother overall aswell tbh Definatley worth the 30 quid plus it looks great in red in the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjt Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I thought that it made the idle smoother on mine, as well as the xenons noticeably brighter. or maybe its all in my head 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
