As title, seems like an expensive magnet that has no effect.

Anyone seen one of these, surely if you break up the chain of hydrocarbons,the fuel becomes useless.

Weird to see that grounding kits were also giving the thumbs down.  These seem a common place mod in the States, and several of our own members have fitted them...

I think they are pretty handy on older performance cars because they start to get odd electrical problems due to the heat cooking the wires in the engine bay. They were good on Zeds, which are notorious for having very hot engine bays that cook the electrics after 10-15yrs, which is why they have a bit of a bad rep for reliability, when the engine is actually very strong. There isn\'t as much electrics in an rx7 but I\'d imagine its still an issue?
