Default Ultimate Downsize Accessory!

Had this sent to me this morning and as I have never seen it before, I thought I would share. What will people think of next?! Reckon it would be a great pressie for those that are difficult to buy for.

ENJOY! We are still smiling. Funny stuff. I am sure many of you found this a long time ago however I reckon there are a few like us, that were unaware - we live sheltered lives!

Cheers
GT

The precedent of stripping weight and using full slicks was set years ago now.

So if you want to beat em, ya gotta join em, and being manual makes the time even more credible.

Yeah I liked it when it was first posted a while ago. I wanted to get one for the Barge so the Dragon Lady thinks she still has the old XC with the 351, but I forgot what it was called, thank you..

(You should be careful posting fun things like this, that last couple of threads on it have been closed!! )

galaxy xr8 probably not the answer you wanted... I did a google before for soundracer and found a few around the $55 mark I think. There were a couple of cheaper ones on eBay too. I also saw reference to V8 V10 V12 models.

I watched one video clip showing that it didn't work in whatever car it was. According to the reviewer's clip, you rev up to 3500 rpm to set the high limit then let it drop down to set the low limit.

I'm finding it very hard to resist the urge to have a lumpy outboard

I've got one, mostly for use as a MP3 player converter. you plug in your ipod and it transmits it to the car radio. excellent for cars with no aux input. it's crap in an XR8, the revs are too low (it basically just idles). i no longer have a 4 cylinder car to use it in.
