That is a riot! Where did they have you connect said "chip"?
It's quite sad as well that they don't even solder the resistor to the wire - just twist the leads around the wire. |

1NZYaris1, I already charged your PayPal account and it's on its way. I heard this performance chip works especially well with Kiwi cars.
