I will let you guys know.
if it work we should all chip in for 1 and get ricky to copy it
the good thing is the box can be used on any cars at any time so If I drive my bmw tonight and then stepwgn tomorrow, I can just take it out and plug it in the stepwgn.
This box F1 cars are using it.
so what is it?

it is a black box to stop all the vibrations inside the metal or alloy on car like engine, Chassis, doors, body.......
it is like absorbing all of it into the little box.
this will make the car a lot stronger and stable.
the good thing is it is not just for handing, itis also for fuel saving and cut out some DB.
if it work this weekend this box for 7k is well worth it compare to out other mods, like the bars which cost over 10k

This box F1 cars are using it.
So what is the theory behind this F1 box? I am confussing right now.
How a box without connecting to the chassis can improve the chassis?? kind of immpossible isnt?

not realy.
if you stop most of the vibrations in the car then it will handle much better so you can go faster just like our 3 bars which makes the
Chassis stiffer

Yes, same question mark in my mind. Capt said that it can be installed in BMW today and move to StepWep tomorrow. Sounds like very easy to install and uninstall and can be DIY.

If it is using mechanical theory to absorb vibration, it should not be easily to install and also it cannot be "copy".

If it is electronic stuff, how it improves the stability and strength. Unless this box control the computer in our car. But our car's suspension and chasis are not electronic ready.

Tons of questions.....

I think this is space shuttle technology.

As far as i know it does not require any installation!
Just put that plastic box somewhere in your car and you are done!
Its more than shuttle tech
