Hey Scooby dudes.


Has anybody noticed any real improvement with this fitted??


I've had my Broquet fitted now for a while, and so far I’ve noticed no improvement in anything whatsoever.


Fuel consumption is the same, and performance doesn’t feel any different.

You'll have to excuse me..... can't stop laughing!!!

Thought of all you Broquets people and thought this might be of interest to you:

There's a cream out there on the market (aptly called BoodeySkank) that my girlfriend assures me will remove all wrinkles from her peachy buttocks. Going to try myself...... A great way to prevent "Bucket Seat Buttocks" syndrome! And it will also remove the sting from all your ***** re the above!!!

Her mate swears by the stuff. Bit expsensive, but she said the actress on QVC claimed it was wonderfull!!!! No evidence to prove anything works mind - but you can get your money back if your lucky.

Peachy wrinkle free buttocks - guarenteed cause my girlfriends mate says it works ok?

What have you got to lose - it cant do any harm either way!!!

Im doing a group buy for £100 a tub. Anyone interested please post. That includes post and packaging. Im hoping Simon will market the stuff on the scoobyshop.

You could rub your broquets with it and see if you get any fuel consumption increases - aparently it smoothes the petrol as it flows out of the tank into the engine.

And Prodrive probably use it - i shined a torch in the fuel tank and i could swear it had some of the stuff in there - so thats conclusive evidence it definately works (probably). And it cant do any harm either way!!!

Marvelous!!!

LOL @ Jsa,

Quite happy to do a Wax Wizard type demo tour with a tub, on the girlfriends, if we can get enough interest. Groups of one (female) are acceptable. But two's even better

Jza,

I am more than willing to test how peachy your girlfriends (and her mates) buttocks are after using this stuff.

So how do we test the 'money back' guarantee?

I'm quite happy to test it out at this point...

JZA: No I won't get my money back, although the warranty is good for 3000 miles. My findings so far are that the engine is noticably smoother, MPG has been up but this could be just my driving and so that's why I'll leave it. My broquet was a present from a 'green' relative so if it doens't work I haven't lost anything

That's a mis-quote, I can do that:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:<HR>So on the whole you back up their claims then...?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
{tongue-in-cheek-mode-off}

Before the broquet I had monitored the mileage for two months as I use the car daily for work and wanted to prove to my wife that it wasn't that much worse than her Fiat (hmmm...)

My average was 23.78, after two months with the Broquet I will post the new average. One thing though, the engine is DEFINITELY smoother. It improved after going to SUL and is now even better, this is not just me as a couple of friends have commented on it.

I will post the new figure in a couple of weeks, BEFORE my new exhaust goes on.

So out of all the people that bought it, only a couple think there may be an improvement and some say there's none at all!
Either it works or it doesn't!
My car will often feel different just by filling up with SUL from a different garage.
If Broquet really worked, then surely everyone that's tried it would notice an improvement?
Do you guys that have bought it drive UK or Jap cars?

chiark,
as said above, I'm waiting for a few more tanks of fuel before saying anything. daft I know, but I set myself goals for testing this and I'm sticking to them, and that includes not saying anything until I've finished, which should be a few weeks more.

Right I thought I would give everyone, especially Jza a chance to jump all over me and shoot me down.


OK here goes – Since fitting Broquet, the damn annoying clutch judder I get when cold and crawling in traffic has noticeably improved, to the extent that I don’t have to launch myself out of my driveway anymore (normally end up bouncing up the road if I try to go slowly).


So could the smoother engine have an effect on the clutch??????????

PS – I’m gonna slaughtered for this one, huh??

And yet another miracle is witnessed. Maybe they should add that to the "evidience"!!! It even sorts out ya clutch!!!

MRK, if it works on clutch judder I'll be ordering some soon
(I'd guess it has probably improved due to a lack of rain recently?)

Dont suppose it removes scratches from the paintwork as well does it?

I fitted Broquet to my STi5 about 8 months ago. Definitely smoother, even tho i always run it on SUL. Driving a friends "identical" car without it makes his engine feel (and sound) very coarse.

Economy wise? The engine is loosening up now its got 15k on it so maybe this has helped but i've seen a steady improvement from 18-20 to a regular 21-23 ish.

Oh, and it hasn't melted any pistons yet!

Yup, I'm happy and i'm keeping them (even tho they ARE on a piece of cable so i can hook 'em out again!)

Clutch judder? Mine's gone away. It only happens when it's damp and cold, especially when the car has been standing all day.

...and I don't even have broquet
