Ground Wires

I was wondering if you guys know or heard anything about these wires. Do they do anything more than just add a little color under the hood? Does anyone have pictures? Anything?

ME!

I just did this a few days ago, my friend got subs so I got his left-over wire. Anyways I just used some red 8 gauge wire and soldered on little "terminals" then I connected them to the ground on the battery.

Check out my page 2

It does look cool in the engine bay. I'm not going to lie and say that my top speed is better or anything, but my lights don't dim like they used to, and think about it, it can't hurt the car.

Give it a Try

I had doublea here build me a kit that I installed earlier this month. It was a circle-the-engine type kit and not the everything back home HKS type. No noticable gains in power, lights, etc. Dyno coming soon to make sure...

Thanks for the input guys, so its probly worth the 25 bucks.
Where do you connect the central plate to? The battery? The body?

Get one in black, for me! This is my old ground kit, yes i made two.

Its worth the time and effort. I just wish i made it in black.
For future reference, the best places to ground are:
1. Both headlight harnesses
2. Alternator
3. Fuel injectors
4. Both cylendar heads
5. Auto tranny
6. Those little groups of ground wires in various spots under the hood
