Buddy Club Condenser

http://buddyclub.us/buddyclub/top_m.html

I saw this on the Aussie forums, some guy added it and said he noticed some improvement.
Either way, if you go to the link, and select the item, go to another page...... blah blah blah, eventually you get to a dyno print out. (can't direct link that page for some reason)
Granted, it's not labeled for a specific application, but it does explain a little of what it does. At an MSRP of 200 bucks, I am sure one could get it for 150 or so. Doesn't sound like a bad deal.

What do you guys think?
Looking for JTso to give some input as well.

Off topic, but "buddy club" completely cracks me up. I assume that is some kind of japlish name?

At first I thought this was about an air conditioning condenser. this is more like a mutant grounding kit. I saw the T1R grounding kit on AJR looks similar to that.

Having good grounding is essential for the proper operations of the various sensors and the ECU. Grounding problems are quite common with the older Hondas which affects the Throttle Position Sensor and the ignition system. However, unless the car is experiencing problems that is proved to be caused by poor grounding or inconsistent ground reference signals, I would hesistat to drop $200 for such device. Even then, I would try to fix the grounding problem first before consider patching the problem with another device.

BLING-BLANG!

Yeah, you know, it really is just a glorified grounding kit. Subarus are the only real cars to benifit from these. On the WRX, it translates to 110% better idle and up to 15 wheel horsepower! The car in question really need to have a shitty grounding system to begin with. Hondas really are not that bad.

All in all, with all the sensors and stuff on cars, especially the TSX, extra grounding really might not be that bad of an idea......a few people have even reported advantages like better radio reception......
