check it out here (http://speedlogic.net/partz_week/compucar/partz_week_03.htm)
I was looking on ebay and i came across this kit and decided to check it out further and I found a few sites talking about it.
Just curious, if anyone here has seen this before or even used it? The price doesnt sound too bad either.

Um....speaking of primative dry kits......
I dunno man, that's a decent price I guess....but for that money you could build your own out of parts and get a bottle heater and purge while you're at it (through ebay). Hell maybe I'll start "building" dry kits and selling them for $400....

well, i just never seen them setup that way. only one line to run. and the cigarette light plug for power. I thought it was pretty stealth.
build me a kit then w/ the heater and purge for $400, I'll buy it:D

Or I could look at building you a similar kit for $400, lemme look around.

I dont consider it ghetto rigged but thats your opinion.
Dont trouble yourself with looking nitrous stuff up, I'm not in need of that yet. Atleast not till spring.

A nitrous kit that you plug into the cigarette lighter?!:huh: That's just one of those things I wouldn't plug into a cigarette lighter. That's light plugging a 1,000 watt mono class d amplifier into your cigarette lighter. Or plugging a boost controller into your cigarette lighter. Or plugging ....i dunno....it's just not right.
Anyways, if you're serious about the kit thing, I'll build you a better one than that for $350.

i have a buddy in a 93 stang with one....works really good...
dont have to worry about selenoids overheating or worry about going to the trunk to open the bottle....the noids are not pressurized all the time due to the bottle being left open....
cigarette lighter can power a tv and vcr.....why not a nitrous kit...
it uses the same 12volt supply your kit uses!!!
easy and interchangable......what a great idea.....
i actually thought of this when i put my NOS kit on.....then i saw a friend buy it and said....hey that was my idea!!!
only prob is that some idiots may activate the switch with the car sitting at idle!!! that is why they need to spend an extra 15 dollars for a WOT switch!!! later

It's just really tacky to have your nitrous kit running off your cigarette lighter..... hard wire it!
I wouldn't have a boost controller plugged into the cigarette lighter, for "easy interchange".....that's just ridiculous.
I dunno....I guess up North we like things looking clean after install....not "hey can you plug my nitrous kit into the cigarette lighter? yeah that's right, unplug my vcr and tv first."
