Again, now that i think about it, I installed my Buddy Club Kit around the same time as my wheels and exhaust mod.

~Before my 30,000 mile mark i was getting 28mpg mixed hwy and city, mainly city. Full hwy was more like the 32mpg. Now, all the mods combined, I see more like 32-34 mixed hwy mainly city and more like 34-36mpg all hwy.

~I can be honest and say i don't notice a smoother idle, but I did notice more power from a full stop, although could be due to the exhaust and larger tires on the car.

~As far as battery life, I am still good on that, but I have only had the car a year and a half. No real time to test it yet. I'm sure as far as better delivery to electrical components i believe it. You have three (could be four, not sure) cables and one goes to the positive post of the battery, the others are screwed onto specific points of the car.

~Blue LED light in engine bay is nice because I placed it on my heat shield on the opposite side where my ECU is mounted so it lights up right below my AEM SRI. It has a nice glow effect there. Room is tight under the car, so it was the only real place to install it.

Now It is Dyno Proven to improve as much as 10hp at 5200 rpms on my boyfriends mazda3 forums for his car, but I know every model car will respond differently to this kit, and i rarely do over 4000 rpm's in my car, so I'm sure the improvement wouldn't be as much.

I'm happy with the purchase, I have nothing negative to say about it as of yet. Although, some people think it is a useless mod, or that it is has a placebo effect on drivers.

To each their own, it's just like any mod, some people do it and some people don't.

All it looks like to me is a giant voltage stabilizer system, which to me doesn't seem worth it. I seem to recall Kat having a previous post that said something along the lines of "she didn't think the buddy club was worth it" or "didn't notice a difference" or something. Unless that's just a dream.

my boyfriend installed his long before mine. He never noticed a difference and was disappointed with the purchase, I know I said that, but I still wanted to install it on my car. Although, he still has it on, and stopped complaining about it? I'll ask him if he changed his mind on it now.

Personally I like it, and would recommend it. It wouldn't be top pick on my mod list if it would be for just fuel economy, just for the combined features it offers, because i don't feel it improved my mpg.
