Not only will it improve everything about your car, it will cure baldness, cancer and impotence!

What a bunch of crap! As P.T. Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute".

For that price it better "stop time" so that I can wiggle through traffic.
Besides, it nicely matches the color of my "flux capacitor" which has been working overtime.

Ebay.com= buyer beware.
Does anyone else think that about 5% of what's on Ebay is good/OK and the rest is junk?

Maybe it should be WEbay for White Elephant Bay.com?

I lived in Japan, south of Tokyo for nearly 10 years. I was heavily into bike tuning and racing during those years. Did a lot of shopping, observing and talking with fellow bike tuners.

What I found was, in their own country, the Japanese will not design and market a product without value or a real-world performance benefit. They don't sell crap to their kin. Its the nature of their culture and society-- everyone is proud of what they do and that comes out in their products.

Some items, like this one I suspect, serve to replace or support mass-manufactured, mediocre, OEM components in our cars. And therein lies the performance - more efficiency. The Japanese are all about effeciency.

You can go to your Wal-mart car tune isle and its loaded with colorful gadgets that do nothing but look colorful. Some of them are made in Japan - but made for the American, consumer - the "gaijin". The Japanese have no moral barriers about selling fluff to us in our own markets.

This item, ebayer's advertisement not withstanding, appears to be a Japanese market product, not an export product. And that leads me to believe that it might just work as designed (not necessarily as advertised on ebay)-- even thought it might be in a very small degree.

What is it? Looks like a votage regulator to maintain battery capacity. Certainly not worth the asking price in my opinion.
