Just a note of caution, I think the RED set that the seller offers could be a smaller (thinner) gauge wire, perhaps 6AWG or even 8AWG from the stock photos.

ItsMyDaily provided some excellent pics, very well focused, and it looks as thick as the 4AWG wire I used for my audio install.

Again, nice pics man :)

those are the exact ones I purchased. The red ones are the same also. I do not think the wire size has changed for the red one's. I think it only looks smaller because of the distance they took the pic from. Either one would work.

It seems to be very simple, just wires and connectors, i think i can buy the wires, cunnectors a plate and build my own grounding kit... will this work?

You can make your own. Its even simplier to put together then the bought ones. All you do is daisy chain each connection point (alot less wires). The hardest part of the whole process is putting the heat shrink on

Ofcourse you can. As vodkalush said, you can make it a lot more simplier.

If any of you are trying to be ultra-thrifty this website has a kit you can buy piece by piece for a pretty good price.

wow good eyes! Maybe the wire size is different, who knows

Either way it won't make a difference what gauge type the wire is.

We can argue that here

Technically bigger gauge is better.

But yes, I agree that 8AWG, true 8AWG not 8GA plastic with 16AWG wires are sufficient for reground.

I'm going with 4AWG to keep the grounds consistent with the amplifier's ground wires.

Thankx, and your welcome.

I still have one more update to make to the thread. That would be the install of the final wire from the tranny to the block, so......still a couple new photos to come. Should get that done sometime this coming week end.

disregard my post prior to this one guys. I couldn't resist and had some free time, so I went ahead and connected the last ground wire. I updated the DYI with the final wire at the end. Now it's a complete install.

Sorry vodkalush, I know this doesn't make your yarisworld manuel easier.
