mtn.man1 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Would appreciate some input on the Ground Wire Kits that are advertised on Ebay. Are they any help for a smooth running engine? mtm.man1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taprackready Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Its kinda like snake oil salesmen back in the 1700's. Supposedly a fix all cure for anything wrong with your car. Get real, quicker throttle response, higher top end power all from ground straps. If you have a grounding problem then save your $50-$80 bucks on that kit and make your own straps from 4 guage wire you can buy from a sterio shop.

nutt7 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I agree with taprackready. It can help though...I noticed smoother idle and less dimming lights on my old civic, have not tried it on the sube yet Make sure you at least run a wire from each head to the chassis and a couple off the battery to the chassis too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Maybe so, but the cool neon colors they come in can really class up an old, greasy engine compartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganM Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'm in pretty bad need of good ground wires. I still wouldnt buy this 'kit'. You can go get perfectly good ground wiresat lots of different stores. I'l be getting some from Fleet Farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
