my GROUNDING KIT SUCKS!

well i got this grounding kit from doubleduce2k(sp?) and i just installed it today. and i followed the gorunding points from this thread here

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...tock+grounding

cept i didnt use the alternator grounding point and the 2 distribution blocks. so when i went to start the car it was working on 2 and then when i went to start it i just heard a spark like sound and then the car didnt start and i was like "OH ****!" then i checked everything and every wire was fine. but then when i changed everything back to stock(cept the thermostat to radiator support ground) and it was running again! so do you think it was the battery terminal? cuz when i changed the negative battery terminal back to stock everything was working fine. but at that time i took off all the grounding wires cept the one i mentioned above.

oh and here is the grounding kit i got:

so please help me cuz i really want to get a grounding kit in my car since i have the wiring and stuff. or do you think it was just the battery terminal. i can post pics of what MY battery terminal for my grounding kit looks like if you want. also on one of the 4 guage wire the connector is snapped in half. if you are confused on what i just said just say so(not trying to say your dumb but i do get confused myself in what i type). thanks in advance for your help!

Strange. I just got a generic terminal that's bigger than stock to fit all the wires. It should work fine.
