What is this red & black thingy?

[BoxCarRacer]

Guys,

I've browse through couple of Import Tuner magazine online and saw this red & black cap on Honda cars. What is it called and what is the function of it?

for air jack maybe..

I seriously doubt so.

Tried googling it also cannot find the answer

must ask those aussie or usdm tuners they should know......i also wanna know the function.

since there is an empty compartment (suspect of car battery space), i think the two "plug" could be the auxilary power point, to be connected with outside power source. without on-board battery, the car would be lighter. Battery normally used for start up. Once engine started, the alternator will generate electricity. Even unplugging the car battery, the engine could still run.

just my opinion...

if engine dies in the middle of a trunk road......die OooOo

Might be the point to jump start the car..

Might be this item? Battery remote jumper terminal..

hahah, that is very true.

Perhaps this sort of configuration is only applicable for track car usage.

Battery remote jumper? probably and it makes sense too since the fact the its in red & black in color.

I am not sure about it but i've seen it only in Honda cars and the the placement of those tubes different from each other. One is outside while another one is in the engine bay.

if put outside then no need to open bonet to jump start the car..
may be la..curious also..

i think it's true..

on track car, they will find a way to lighten their cars.. coz lighter car goes faster..

the purpose of a battery in a car is to start d engine.. if engines started, then there's no use of the battery..

of coz we need to charge the battery, but for track car.. CHARGE SOME WHERE ELSE LA..

on track car they often lighten everything.. change mirrors to plastic, change bodyparts to carbon fiber..

it's common
