I agree.
Has anybody bought a grounding kit yet and not installed it? Also are you willing to take pics?

nsmitchell · 11-13-2006, 10:45 AM

I can take pics of my installation, so the locations will be clearer.

ItsMyDaily · 11-13-2006, 10:57 AM

nsmitchell interesting results. I think I will get some reading on my points over the coming weekend. I'd like to see what you decided to ground with your install.

Sorry,Ive been busy,Ill try to post pics tonight.

vodkalush · 11-13-2006, 01:48 PM

Well I feel like a special ed student...

if anyones wondering on how to install a Bought Grounding Kit then go back to the first page and to post 1 of this thread....

I think what still needs to be made is the DIY Guide for making and installing your own homegrown grounding kit.

Thanks, you saved me 30 euros.

Guys is anyone interested in a DIY Grounding Kit for the 1.3lt engine?If yes I can fix you up!

Has anyone measured the length of the wires in the e-bay kit?

The average person can't make a kit for $22 when you factor in the cost of quality wire at $1 + per foot and quality ring connectores at $1 a piece or more.

That one wire with brown tape is actually going onto the ECU,I just havnt found a screw that fits that open hole,theres 2 holes open on the ECU,so I figured Id just let it sit on the intake manifold for a few days.I have 4 points so far,Intake,alternator,left and right side of the engine block,next will be transmission,then the throttle body,and maybe more,Ill think of something.

^ looks great. Wow the strut bar just barelly clears it, man thats tight. Great location for the stabilizer aswell.

eco · 11-14-2006, 11:12 AM

Thanks,ya its tight,but youll have no problem,because neither one will move.

Katana · 11-18-2006, 03:39 AM

Τell us any comments after installing it!

SDsurfrider · 11-18-2006, 01:36 PM

These kits look like they are for a car show, and not so much for performance. No offense to those who like them, just my opinion.

Is there a kit that sells the wires without the clear plastic covering? Something more opaque like spark plug wires. Maybe I could buy the wires like this somewhere?

What does it matter if they do the same thing. Why not have a kit that does the same any other kit(one's that look like spark plug wires as you put it) would do, but have it look good at the same time?

Oh and yes there are kits like the way you mentioned.

^ good to hear. Wish i was snowing here in LA, man I miss the snow. Like you said if nothing more is gained from this mod atleast you know your engine/tranny are nicely grounded.

Correct

jmew0ng · 02-24-2007, 02:50 PM

On the pictures I noticed nobody put back the stock grounding point?

Or am I just overlooking it?

It seems hard to fit on the brass thing since it's grooved specifically for the stock version.

Blenjar · 02-24-2007, 04:28 PM

I just bought the red ones on ebay:
