Ok anyone here about this stuff? Yesterday i tested 0-60 time in the 1973 142E with a stop watch (friend helped) time said 14 seconds. Today we ran the engine with caroseen in the oil for about 6 minutes t clean everything out. And then we added 4 quarts of 20:40 oil and put in the Z max engine stuff and also the gas stuff. We started the enine up and ran it for 10 minutes just like it says to. We then stoped at a light... Said wanna test it? He prepared. Light turns green... pop the clutch TIRES SMOKING!!! Never smoked before! Took off... at 60 he stoped. It said 10.1 seconds! This shit is awesome! U guys gotta try it! U can get it at shucks for 35.00$. Tell me what u think.

When I drank zmax (I drank the fuel treatment) my job was
easier and my girlfriend better looking. When I put the
zmax oil treatment in my hair, 3 beautiful women and a
cute guy all hit on me within the first 30 minutes and my
cloths fit better too!

Don't forget to soak your feet in kerosene to get the
full effect.

I also installed the tornado thingy on my hat. I think
my IQ went up at least 15 points! That more than doubled
my stock IQ intelligence...

ZMAX WORKS!

Next time you have a dinner party try using Z max instead of your usual cooking oil. Just make damn sure you fancy the guests you invite cos you'll be getting to know them MUCH more intimately before the night is out.

When I put a turbo muffler (has a visible spinning 'turbine' in the exhaust tip!!!!!) on my Volvo the results were initially disappointing. But when I added the plastic fake intercooler behind the grille and the electronic blow-off valve sound effects generator I finally broke through to another whole level of performance!

Note - all actual products....

seriously, i installed the intake vortexicizer, added the LED's on my rims, and played "low rider" at full blast on my CD player. something about this particular combination caused my ride to exceed light speed. i turned to pure energy. i am simply thinking this message into existence (as opposed to typing with old-fashioned meat-fingers and opposable meat-thumbs), and now reside in a server in Scranton, PA (my new mailing address is 216.76.5.48).

note: remove undercarriage neon before attempting - something about it will produce very negative effects (ever see "The Fly"?).

Does the turbo muffler tip provide better performance than the one with the LEDs around the circumference?

I also make sure the headlights are off before testing. All that light pushing forward really slows you down.

I was going to test the LED muffler, but prior to installing it my LED CAI (Cold Air Intake) that pulls air from underneath the front bumper sucked in a water puddle and destroyed the engine*! But at least I shaved at least 0.1 seconds of my 1/4 mile times before that happened!

* A common story on Honda boards from people with CAI's. Oddly enough, they usually rebuild their destroyed engines and keep the CAI's after such disasters. (O_o) (<--raised eyebrow)

ok, this reminds me - i was actually gonna ask about additives at some point. i've never used 'em on any car i've had. my 1975 164e only gets supreme/premium/whatever gasoline. i see all sorts of fuel treatments for cleaning injectors & fuel systems, octane boost etc, and i've been too chicken to use any of them, cuz, well, you can really funk stuff up. same for oil (a la slick 50) treatments etc. on the other hand, my auto likes to seep a bit of oil here and there and say i forget to check it or want to cruise for a distance - would be nice to know that there's a "space-age lubricant bonded to the engine's metal bits" or whatever they say.

does anything actually work, insofar as fuel or oil treatments / additives? has anyone measured a difference after the $14 bottle of chevron techron fuel additive? has anyone used slick 50 then drained their oil to see if the thing doesn't sieze up?

wondering...

Might be fun to experiment with that Slick 50 stuff on a $150 beater K-car. Until you have to pay another $150 to have it towed off...
