Do'h - Thanks guys for saving me. I was about to spend the 200, as it appeared such a fair-dinkum add.

Someone always spoils my fun.

Cheers,
Hymee.

my comment was directed to those that think this was an actual ad appearing on eBay...the ad itself is an obvious fake...ok?

Oh yeah np :-) I'll be honest - my last car was an integra, there was some kind of resistor trick for $2 on ebay. I just bought it to see what the idea was. Indeed, it was a 5 cent resistor - now putting it in a black box makes it look more appealing :-)

Anyone heard of Zero Gravity Module for RX-8

I was on ebay checking out anything new on RX-8 when I ran into this profermance Mod advertisment. They claim +20 HP for a starting bid of $26.99.

Ebay------item=2451670590

I never heard of this company or this mod before. Any feed back will be much appreciated.

Mark

It's bogus! look at their dyno charts, even the stock runs are way off, I think they were stating over 200 ft/lb of torque for stock figures.....Please!

Has anyone heard of this ECU mod for only $26.99 called Zero Gravity

Has anyone heard of this ECU mod that's only $26.99

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2453694068

Is this possible that someone is actually selling such a cheap ECU mod or is there something I am missing here ? ?

Fake Dyno sheet

Carguy,

This is a complete fake and I can prove it to you. Look at the Dyno sheet. First of all, his power band ends at 7000 RPM's. All of us who own a MT know the we can all REV to 9,200 RPM. This individual is a joke and should be reported to EBAY.

While I'm not disputing this is a fake, that can't be a curve for RX-8. His baseline torque is 201. The graph doesn't say what car it is for. Anyway, there are enough warning signs all over the ad that this is just some old POS.

Edit: BTW, this seller has 413 auctions currently running on eBay. I checked a couple dozen and didn't see a single bid offered on any of them. Hmmm, so where did all his positive endorsements come from?

I think thoughs electric superchargers are funny. I actually had to talk my neighbor out of buying one because he wanted to get one instead of stillen ecu for his 300zx because it was so much cheaper.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2459808033

i saw this some time ago, however the bid ran out.
Its back now, and i'm really wondering about this product.

Could it be true??
