Learn how to launch properly and hit your shift points correctly.

jeff_o · 10-08-2006, 01:20 PM

i don't think you have to connect it to the ignition coil... just the negative terminal will do... correct me if i'm wrong though.

also, is there a hard rule which components/parts of the engine bay that you should ground? or just ground whatever you feel grounding?

ItsMyDaily · 10-08-2006, 01:28 PM

^ no you can ground whatever you feel you want to. it's only suggested that you ground certain points(engine head, intake mani, tranny, eyc.) for best benefits. Other then the suggested areas it really doesn't matter what you ground.

Katana · 10-08-2006, 04:25 PM

Correct!

There are 3-4 important points that you have to connect.

Yarisindo · 10-08-2006, 07:48 PM

If weight is really a big factor and every kg counts then I think the driver has to go on a diet, and pump gas only when needed, so no full tanks and empty your bladder whenever possibe before driving :) Take it easy...

Just ordered my ground wires off of ebay. I'll do a DIY once they arrive for those interested.

Kitt · 10-13-2006, 09:51 PM

thanks buddy! we'll be waiting for that...

bulldogs2k · 10-18-2006, 12:31 AM

shorter gear ratio helps with acceleration too!

ItsMyDaily · 10-18-2006, 12:32 AM

^ wow forgot about gears. true that, but I think the aris already has pretty short gearing. wouldn't want to go shorter myself.
Still waiting on my wires, should come in tomorrow hopefully.

they are all the same thing. the only thing that makes them vary in price is the name. That actually looks pretty kool. It's a fake hks ofcourse, but still doesn't look bad. good find.

BMGYaris · 10-21-2006, 12:36 AM

hey, if anyone is still reading this, i am just learning about grounding kits and all of that (of course i will make it myself when i decide to do it) but since the power steering is electric also do we need to do any special grounding for it?

ItsMyDaily · 10-21-2006, 01:17 AM

my ground wires came in yesterday. hopefully I can instal tomorrow, but if I have no time then sunday for sure.

Better buy than shines far better and professional sees itself

More power? Lower gear ratio. Cheapest way smaller diameter wheel/tire combo, you will feel the difference.

Jerkratt · 06-02-2007, 04:33 PM

o dam did not look at the date on the tread.... lol sorry

cali yaris · 06-02-2007, 07:59 PM

Top Five "acceleration mods" that I'm doing (with the brand I bought), all things I can bolt on myself:

1. cold air intake (AEM)
2. header (Megan Racing)
3. crank pulley (NST)
4. catback exhaust (probably custom 'cause I don't want a can, but I do like the Greddy product)
5. grounding wires (stereo store as noted)
6. lighter-than-stock wheels (SportMax for me, but whatever you like)
7. tach (knowing were redline's at IS kind of important for max acceleration)

oops, that was seven.
