Not the first time and certainly not the most notorious. For the older members on the forum, same may remember a certain Australian race car driver known as Perer Brock and the demise of the HDT marque.

Taken from en.wikipedia.org:

Brock developed an interest in New Age-style spirituality through practitioner Eric Dowker. Brock began publicly supporting, and eventually began to fit to HDT specials, a device called the "Energy Polariser", containing strong permanent magnets, which claimed to improve the performance and handling of vehicles through "aligning the molecules". The overwhelming majority of the Australian motoring community regarded the device as pseudoscience. Brock also recommended that the tyre pressures for his polariser-equipped vehicles at what many regarded as near-dangerously low levels. Holden, fearing the consequences of being associated with the device, cut ties with Brock and set up an alternative racing/modification operation, Holden Special Vehicles.

thats funny shit.so hdt parts were being put onto production cars.untill this ''polariser'' hit the stands.lol.......

Thats gold brocky..But i think it would be hard to turn down the cash ''sponsorship'' can bring..so why not endorse it.:)

    • Quick question for you fine folks who see more ethanol in your tanks. I installed my ethanol content sensor last year. It reads temperature fine and at the time was reading 11% which I found normal for our E10 fuel over here. Issue is, since last year, I've never once seen it read anything but 11%.  I always use the same gas, from the same gas station so I was telling myself it was normal... but I'm starting to have doubts. I would have expected to see some sort of variation by now. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just trying another pump as the 94AKI (~100RON) fuel I run is only offered by one retailer.
    • Oh my god, I feel sick. So much second year uni formulas and crap in that for modelling a sprung and dampened system. Blergh!
    • I see a Toyota 86 that has been molested by an Audi (thinking R8 ish) and a Hyundai.
    • Hey Prank, Any chance you could easily lock all the old FS and WTB posts? Even if it's just a one off hit through there. The majority of posts are people asking someone if they still have something for sale from 8+ years ago, when the person who originally advertised it hasn't been on the site in donkeys years. Just a thought I had. Maybe go through and lock everything older than 12 months or something?
    • I'd be thinking it's the other way around. Less of an impact when rich compared to lean, but definitely in a lean condition the cat specifically uses up a lot more free oxygen. When rich it's grabbing oxygen from other places to like NOx, but it still gets converted to CO2 and H2O.
