OK I got my ground system a while back and installed it. The instructions, however, were extremely confusing and you could tell the had been translated from Chinese by a Chinese person. So I tried to go along with the pictures even though the engine bay looked nothing like a civic's. Here's what I ended up with: (Please tell me if I installed them wrong.)

I will definetly have them up by Monday some time. Sorry about not updating the site at all, but I've been EXTREMELY busy lately and haven't had much time to do much of anything. I have Monday off so I'll be doing a lot of catching up car-wise then.

$115 - Don't get it unless you need it. I needed it to fix an idle problem and an extremely bad ground problem I had (a long story short, I got electrocuted). Although they do claim to add power, I didn't notice any difference. I'm sure it would help a lot more on a heavily modified engine.

on some cars there is actually a small gain but throttle responce is improved. dont buy a kit just make one your self. buy round 15-20 ft of 8ga and some crimp ends. the hot spots, near starter, near distributer, near crank trigger, on intake manafold, and on top of the valve cover. its allot cheaper then buying a premade kit

when the spark plugs fire, they do it through 2 connections, one where the wire goes in and hooks to the plug, and the other is where the plug screws into the head, so if you dont have good ground wires from the block/head to the chassis of the car, then the spark will be a little weaker, so a grounding kit is a bunch of new, high quality wire that replaces the stock cheap wires.

One of those 4AWG cables would have done the trick..
A litle redundant but looks very nice!

okay... umm i got a kit like that but i have more wires, and a huge neg. bat. terminal with a round disk connecting all my wires.. n there 4 gauge. i connected mine n i can feel it my top end is a lil better that before. and it doesnt hurt to put them on a new car either.
