New Cooper/Cooper S performance device found on ebay!

Wow.

I can't even begin to explain this. You just have to see it for yourself.

This is one of those things you think the FCC would ban..... like commercials showing people spray-painting of hair on their head!

wow.

Holy crap. eBay just keeps getting more hilarious with the stuff one can find on there.

Just as bad as the carbon fiber film that some put on their dash


You know what's real funny though, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody bought one and asked us how he's supposed to "install" it :smile:

So I guess I have to buy one for each pipe
How much more horsepower?
What about improved gas mileage?

Check out his ratings. And I can't believe all of those people who bought the thing. E-bay is becomming a den of fools and a den of thieves.

Methinks it's been said den for quite a while. How come the flim-flam artists and con-men always have to spoil the party?

Note to E-bay. Clean up your act. About the only dirty laundry I want to bid on comes from your porn star queens' closets.

hey, give those guys a break. at least they don't claim to improve hp or gas mileage or "smoothness" or supercharger valve response or chassis flex. it's a straightforward ricer accessory that's supposed to just change the sound. now if it doesn't do that, it's another story..........if somebody here buys one, let us know if it does change the sound.

Or you could just wait two more years for the PSA turbo engine in the MCS and get the rice sound for real.

I will take this perfect opportunity to revisit the enigma that is Bubb Rubb.

What,s that going to do to the valvesWith the flow reduced,and the increased back pressure, nothing good I would think.
Also most background sounds,such as car exhaust is added later,in a studio,
not live on the set.They could make an Echo sound like it has a hemi in it
or the shuttle lifting off

I bought one. But it was a novelty. I bought it at the Dragon's Run at some High end tourist town. It slips into the muffler and held in place by friction. It gives your car a weird chirp/warble. Didn't have the guts to put it on anyones Mini, so I waited till I got home and nailed a friend with it.

great, something else for civic owners to buy to impress kids who've seen fast and the furious.this brought upon by the fact that i was talking to my friend in a mall parking lot, his silver two door (STOCK, 120hp or whatever) civic sitting next to my pretty little mcs, and two kids come up, commenting how his car is "the bomb," completely ignoring my then two day old car. i almost strangled them. no one knows anything about cars today except for what they see on tv. mini's not on tv... so what's a mini? oh like austin powers? why'd you get one of those? is it from england or something?

and not that i feel the need for compliments from kids (or adults for that matter), it's just the ignorance.

grrr.

sheesh.

Well I guess those that have a sun roof and less than optimal natural scalp coverage could benefit from some form of spray on protectant
