Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

leave the car running for a couple of minutes when you stop then turn the key off vs spend money on a little box that adds weight to your car and does it for you.

I know which I would choose

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

i made one for my gcse using a 555 timer chip cost about 2quid and then built a vacuum formed case for it, the project cases from maplins look well tidy though if you are making one

"another downside, to my knowledge this is illegal :("

Yea it is if you park it on the road, If the car's running without you inside it then the insurance is invalid. So the police tell me

I think being able to walk away from your car with the engine running as a way to impress people is on the same scale as loud dump valves and exhaust screamers.

My car was running on so bad at one time that I could get out and shut the door before it stopped. I was beating the women off with a shitty stick, they were that impressed. *laughing*
