its all in your head...that faster shifting it the subconcious telling the arm to slam the gear harder. chirps from 2-3 are cause of the clutch. smoother engine response...ya ok

Why is everyone so quick to make bad comments without even trying the kit? How do you know? When I get mine, I'll post some objective results after having tried it.

why are there two ground cables connected to the battery? ¡±

... 2 of 4G wires and 2 of 8G wires ...

whats 4G and 8G??
whats different??

8 gauge wire is smaller

4 gauge wire is double the size of 8 gauge wire.

slamtank · 07-05-2003

how is that related to having two ground cables connected to the battery?

Instead of taking opto_isolator the negative way, why don't you use his extensive comments to revise the current version? hks style?

opto_isolator is not trying to bash on your product, but telling you a few flaws in your grounding kit.

Just my .02 cents.

Why wouldn't Honda do it- That's easy looks like zhit. Really though who cares if it works this well. Thanks for the info

i'm using 8G wires because i'm out of 4G wires (all wires are left over from my sound system setup) ...........

actually i have about 10 feet RED 4G wires left, BUT since i already use it for my (+) Battery terminal, i just don't want to be confused

so i use the White/Silver wires

The dasiy chain method had been proven to work over and over, again, on integra gsr, integra type r, my gf's 7th gen, my toyota matrix, and many many other cars that i have grouned, Lancer EVO, Toyota MRS Spyder, Toyota Celcia, Honda S2000.

I could build the HKS style, woud you guys like to see that? i will only use 8 GAUGE wire, and it will only be in red. I will post pics when I install it. =)

That would be great. Then you can post a comparison to see if there's any difference. Even a small gain would be worth it.

opto_isolator · 07-06-2003

That'd be cool - since HKS decides to charge $125 for a few pieces of wire and a gold plated metal disc. Freaken crazy man!

happies713 · 07-06-2003

here is my hub star method. =)

i have not installed it. The Price is 60.00 i have two sets made. These take longer to make because they included more wires.

1 4 gauge wire
7 pieces of 8 gauge wire, for you to ground where ever you like, and a gold plated terminal to replace the stock terminal. =)

YS · 07-07-2003

hmm ....... i'm gonna buy some more wire terminal tommorow for my 8G cables

Ok i can speak from experience i have a ground wire kit in my car . Yes it does work and i feel a diff with it all the things the package says , headlights brighter , a little more torque , and maybe a little horses 2-3
again i said maybe so dont critisize me for saying it . But i didnt buy the one from happies i bought the sun auto hyper ground wires they are prolly the same thing . I used to think it was a dumb idea that didnt work but now that i tried it im gonna put it on all my cars .
also if you dont believe me then ask ASNBOYSRFR he drove my car and he said he noticed a diff .

gipperkid · 07-08-2003

QUESTION!!!??? why are all you guys paying $60 plus dollars for these "special grounding kits"?? don't you guys realize you can just do it your self. go to an audio store or online and buy 4- or 8- guage wiring in about any color you want and get the gold plated termianls also. lets see i got about 8 gold plated terminals for like 5 or 6 bucks and wire is like $1 per foot or a little more. so where do ppl get off charging $60 or more dollars??? someone correct me if i am wrong......

thanks
