Stabilant 22A now available

Yep....x$pensive... but GOOD!

used this stuff extensively in my audiophile days in the '80's & 90's

took "viels" off of the sound.

Daniel,
That is an entirely reasonable price! I paid around $50 from the local VW dealer a couple years ago...and had to wait several days to get it.

Dave

 

Great price Daniel! Most places are selling it for literally double that (Stabilant22.com is at $99.50 for the 15ml).

 

Great stuff. Just yesterday I was chatting with a 348 owner, and he said that this stuff is really the answer to the dreaded "check eng light." You see, the problem is not the O2 sensors. The problem is... (drum roll for those of us with experience working on british crap) the connectors. Slop this gook on every connector you can see and life will be good.

Pratt & Whitney requires the periodic use of Stabilant 22A on all connectors of some of their turbine engines.

That "Check Engine" light burns a little brighter at 45,000'

Good stuff

 

I first learned of the stuff four years ago when several TR and 348 owners raved about it. They had started applying it either yearly or every other year to all the various connectors in the engine compartment, and this virtually eliminated all check engine lights and other gremlins.

 

Call me old school.... I've never had a problem with white lithium grease in the same application.

I am still in a quandry as to the expense of the stuff. I can't believe that this chemical is so DIFFICULT and TIME CONSUMING and EXPENSIVE to make that 15 ml costs between 50.00 to 100.00 USD.

I have a few theories as to the justification of such a price;

A. It is a proprietary formula that nobody else has been able to duplicate virtually eliminating competitive pricing.

B. It is made by a very old, nearly blind man in a non-descript hut on the outskirts of a tiny village in Scotland.

C. In the true spirit of capitalism the Company's motto is, "It works so good we can charge anything we damn well want to charge."

D. "It's MAGIC!"

E. It is scraped off of the ass end of extremely rare Gnats that inhabit an area near the source of the Amazon River that only come out on moonless nights when when all of the planets in the Solar system are aligned and I'm getting"lucky".

F. All of the above.

 

There are other products on the market that claim to be "as good" or better. But why mess with success....I just use the original stuff. The price is a bit offensive, but as long as it works, no complaints from me. It is patented too....

Just to clarify, my rant was not directed at Daniel, just an observation of relativity...........................and you know how we feel about relatives.......................................................

 

Without a doubt it works and is the best hence item "C" above.

 

Very fair price!!

 

I too have heard positive comments on it's use.....and the subsequent vanishing of many electrical gremlins as Dave Handa says. I have looked around and asked many questions about it's availability, but get the usual blank stare from the guy behind the counter. I believe Napa does carry this substance too....but out local Napa store couldn't seem to verify this!?!? Since my old......rode hard the put away wet TR has gremlins I'm ordering this stuff immediately. The price is nothing if it solves even one intermittent problem.....how much more gray hair....or how much of the little hair I have left will I yank out of my head....chasing down something that this may irradicate? I'm on the Stabilant 22A bandwagon !!!

 

Good Grief, Daniel!

I ordered some Stabilant 22A from you at the weekend, got a message on Sunday that it had been despatched. Today in France it was in my mailbox!!!

The only improvement you could make on this service is to send things before I order them, or before I've even thought of ordering them! LOL

Mucho Thanks! Now I just can't wait to try it out on my F174 (=F348 with bad connector on a CAT ECU).

 

great product.talk to any tech in the N.E. and they use it.fairly priced.its saved a number of mondial's from the fuse box blues.glad to know i can get on line.i will say it lasts a good long time.great stocking stuffer! forza frank

 

It's not just for my 348 Spider (though it's on every electrical connection on that car that I've been able to reach).

It's also on my digital cable modem connections and on my cell phone antennae (boosts signal reception by 1 bar).

It seriously improves data flow across electrical connections.

I've also used the $9 blue/green spray can of "Corrosion Block" from Lear Chemical (http://www.learchem.com/C.B.Page.htm)...it seems to work almost as well as Stabliant 22a.

I recommend both products...Stabilant 22a is **well** worth the price paid.

 

Excuse me if I've got this wrong but isn't this source better than 1/2 the price?

You do have to mix it and buy the alcohol but still ...

If you think you need it , that means you do not drive your Ferrari enough! If you will just drive your car every few weeks and you won't need that or a battery tender!

 

Then why do you suppose Ferrari pays the dealers to put it on brand new cars?

 

I would say that is old school and will have no affect on the problems addressed by Stabilant.

On top of that lith grease does nothing that many 20th never mind 21st century lubes do much better. You can blame slow window motors on white lith.
