Iconic Bionic My engine bay is Bionic Donating Members 3,726 Member For: 18y 9m 24d Gender: Male Location: Freeways Posted 15/07/08 05:57 AM Share Posted 15/07/08 05:57 AM After vacuuming the car today I checked the air filter and gave it a clean. Then I noticed this elastic band holding some cables together and this other loose connection that is not connected to anything. Soooo what is it and why the hell is my car held together by rubber bands?I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you know a rubber band is WAY cheaper than a cable tie! geeeez !!ps. I've got no idea what its meant to plug into Its probably part of a wiring loom that's common amongst our cars, and whatever its for... your car doesn't have it!

If you bridge the terminals you'l get and extra 50rwkw over stock. if your car is tuned to 300+rwkw bridging the plug will give you an extra 120rwkw. (don't tell anybody about this tho cause it'l put all the tuning houses out of business).It held with an elastic band because it quicker to pull out before a pursuit than a cable tie.You also have to connect the blue wire in the passenger foot well....
