A chip to make your car run rich and waste your petrol?

We need a group buy on this one! :roll:

LOL! Before everyone starts slagging these things off I'll say my bit.

I would never actually put anything like this on any car of mine as basically its just a resistor to make the car think its running cold and put in more fuel or something along those lines.

However, although they are crap a friend tried it out on his car which was a Corsa with a 2.0 8v engine in it. He said it made a big difference to it!
So although most people will say they are rubbish they do work on some cars as my friend found out.

Your choice at the end of the day but you can go buy a resistor for about 30p from Maplins etc and it will do the same thing.

Lars if you want a chip go for a Zone chip, will probably be the best 55 quid you ever spend :)

Shame you can't get them for the M40 1.6 :roll:

Problem with overfueling all the time is that it can wash the lube from bores leading to their premature wear :(

Interesting to note that you can get more power by running slightly lean as the extra heat in the chamber causes greater expansion of the gasses.......but it also heats everything up more :lol:
