    what is this ???

    cheers ( rum87) thats good to know, is sometimes hard to distinguish between the humour and what is being said as fact on here lol, although the flux capacitor would have been handy in undoing some major life changing decisions over the last 20 years

    what is this ???

    yeap i cut a wire, it has 2 wires one grounded to car and other directly to positive at battery so it appears to only be powering itself lol maybe thats all it does is flash a green light and that its soul purpose in life, are you guys been funny or really have no idea lol
  18. ss_ute_boi

    what is this ???

    lol i thought it might just be some kind of after market alarm with the flashing light, so i snipped the positive wire to see what would happen and the car was extremely hard to start and ran poorly
