Might be cool though if you get 5-10 fwhp since theres no power going to them in the first place.

Everything on eBay has a claim. Everything with a claim on eBay is a lie.

"TAKES 5 MINUTES TO INSTALL IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. DON'T PAY $$$'S FOR CHIPS THAT DO THE SAME JOB. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A MECHANIC, ANYONE CAN INSTALL THIS KIT."

looks like we found a solution when our timing chains go bad again. pay $700 at the shop? no way, according to this guy it only takes 5 minutes and you need no mechanical skills. on top of it, you get the front wheel horsepower, which will obviously help with launches.

edit. haha. i thought it said timing chain kit.

and why do people keep questioning the facts about everything on ebay?

i question it a lot..cuz some stupid ass punk posted saying he has a CAI for a GSR [my bro has the GSR not me!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'> *puts on flame suit] but yea..he posted up saying he got a CAI for GSR..my bro won the auction at like 160 something bucks..then when i got the item..my bro was away at college so he sends everything down to the house..so yea i got the package..and it was all F*cked UP!!..dents everywhere and it was ugly as hell..there was even a lil hole it in..for reason i dont know wat..and he covered it up..and he said it was a CAI..yea it was CAI already..except..it was missing the OTHER HALF!!! [damn wheres that "you stupid F*cking bitch" smilie when u need it] yep dast right..foo cut the CAI probalby to put bypass valve..and only sent me the First half of the CAI!!!....and we even tired to fit the thing in to at least put it to use as short ram..but it still didnt even fit!!!..as a "short ram"..yea it fit..only W/O the filter!..trying to put the filter in..made it bump up against the front end of the car....so the damn thing is useless and ran away with my bros money!! that lil F'er..my bro emailed him back repeatively..and never got an answer..and my bro filed for fraud..and found out..he might not even be able to get his money back..so yea..stupid punk robbed us...so my bro went to another site and bought it off some other dude..and it works CORRECTLY..so yea..i question everybody and everything at ebay..only for my safety...

..i recently plan to buy a VAFC for my bro for his bday..but then i realize..the unit might be F'd up..or Zapped and ruined..so i plan to buy from a shop..even if i have to pay more money..

there are times where i did buy from ebay and it turned out good..like i bought my short ram INJEN intake and it was beautiful..very clean n everything..so that was good..but bad luck for my bro..im still in search for that foo...when i find him..ima steal his DOHC VTEC badge!!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
