Installed my old grounding kit.
I wasn't exactly sure where this post should go.
Anyways, I got home today and remembered I still had my Buddy Club Racing Spec Condenser. Pulled it off my Evo before trading it in. Been laying in my garage the past couple days and I finally decided, why the hell not? So I installed it into my car this afternoon. It's a little blurry. Sun came down by the time I finished and my phone isn't all that great at taking pictures at night. Oh, should also mention I lost the nut for the positive battery terminal. Was not fun to look for. Luckily I found a 10mm nut that had the same thread. I also noticed that extra ground connection (factory one) on the negative side was pretty dirty. I took it apart and cleaned it. You guys might want to check yours out as well. |

I've read very... mixed reviews about grounding kits. What differences, exactly, do you see with it installed in your new car?

To be honest, I can't really say I notice much. I hardly get to drive the car because I have to drive the company car to work. And this thing is pretty old. I think 6-7 years now? This particular model was dynoed on an Evo and showed like a 3-5HP gain. I guess it all really depends on the quality of the factory grounding as well as the electrical system. I guess YMMV.

Same here. This one has been used since I had my xB. When I got my Evo I swapped it over to there. Now its in my FR-S. I know on my Evo it definitely did what they claimed it would do though. |
