New section: Mythbusters! LOL

[JeffD]

Love to see a section where somneone could propose a "myth" or ebay product which then gets tested out scientificly to get to the bottom of it.

eg. those electric superchargers on ebay - everytime someone mentions them everyone piles in saying how rubbish they are etc but I dont know anyone whos ever bought one. Love to see one bought and properly tested on a dyno with before and after in a controlled environment.

Could do somethig similar with ST205 chargecoolers verses the various SMICs etc

Types of tyres in the dry and wet (on the same car)

Different types of exhaust andhow noisey (again on same car so you can get a % amount of noise/quietness) etc

And so on and so on.....

[JeffD]

Is there a mythbusters on discovery channel? I havent got sky but might get it now LOL!!!

There was a program I saw a few months ago with some curly haired bloke on who did wierd things like dropping duimmies from a height over water, cleanig chrome with coke etc Just think it would be fun and educational at same tiome! LOL

Jeff, FWIW a Wiki is being considered at the moment and this sort of information would be ideal for it

[JeffD]

Reckon this would be cool addition. A sort of scientificly tested product review etc where someone could propose a problem then we all put our collective brains together and find out for sure :-)

One thing I fancy doing is if we could get our hands on a load of exhausts and try them one after another on the same car with/without a decat and find out which ones are the noiser percentage wise eg. below

Idle 30mph 70mph
Stock System 10db 20db 30db
Decat + 10% +15% +15%
----------------
Mongoose + 10% +20% +25%
+ Decat +30% +40% + 40%
----------------
Blueflame +12% + 22% + 27%
+ decat +32% +40% + 42%

etc etc for as many makes as we can :-)
