grounding is important! (pics up)
Guys go out and check all your engine grounds. I finally got around to fixing some of mine that were held on with glue and not very tight, well i put new ring terminals on my 4 gauge wire and cleaned everything up, just doing this made a huge difference. the car starts so much better the sound is higher pitch, car drives great, and i even ran new power/ground to my stereo striaght from the battery. I didnt even change any ground wires just clean it up and tighten everything down.
3 engine grounds
1. battery clamp to chassis
2. same chassis point to tranny
3. engine block to chassis

Rep Power: 812 ya my dome light was even flickering. and the glue was holding the wire in the ring clamp cause i didnt crimp it enough haha. finally put aside my laziness and unplugged/rewired everything. huge difference better than new everything.
Man I just want to send you my car so you can do every improvement you can. Its true, good grounds complete the current running through your car so of course u should pay attention to them. I dont have a good ground for my system and Im pretty sure Im loosing on a lot of good power. But Im too lazy to do anything about it right now.

Rep Power: 812 lol, best bet is find some wire and make your own. you only really need to replace the factory wires with 4 gauge and some nice ring terminals. sanding down the metal helps alot too cause paint isnt a great conductor.

Rep Power: 812 not sure what you mean? i have about 8 wires on my positive battery clamp. just loosen the bolt and slide it on. one more wont hurt.

Rep Power: 294 yeah, but that would be a JDM partial......we are looking in upwards of 70%+ JDM at all times....ill kidnap a japanese child to make my car JDM at all times
We should go even further and declare a Japanese planet! The planet "J-DEM"....I would build a jdm rocket to go live there......Have a jdm wife and child, jdm house, and real jdm car. I wonder what a dark japanese person would look like??(cuz im colored myself....)
