Gord's GroundingGear!

Well I installed the 8 wire kit Hyper-Ground kit on my 6MT G not expecting much and I am absolutely stunned....Never in a million years did I think I would notice but the car feels lighter, more responsive if you will, revs a lot more freely now, seems to like revving now where before it didn't seem to like it much at all. My dash lights are blinding me! These were my observations in 10 mins of driving or so.

I did a gas pedal ECU reset before the mod, went for a 10 min run with some WOT time. Came back, installed the kit, reset the ECU again after I was finished and went for a rip again and like I said I can't believe the improvement!

Highly recommended guys. Well worth the money spent in my books.

That's a heck of a testimonial Ron. Great that you're seeing an improvement of that magnitude.

Now get that plenum spacer, Ztube and start fiddling with the suspension!

On the +'ve side of granny driving, my mechanic anticipated replacement of my brakes/rotors this fall, after looking at them recently, I don't need replacement until next fall!

I agree with Gobsidian. After the intake, these were my second set of mods.. and they did exactly what he said..

The next sleeper/background mod that does wonders to driving is the engine brace..

Lord knows I was a skeptic but you can't knock something unless you've tried it.

I've done tons of mods to cars in my past and am no stranger performance but have never done a grounding kit because I didn't think it would be worth the time/cash.

Well.....now I know it is.

Yep, it does and that red would have have looked great on my car. I have a brown cased homemade 5 wire set up.

Now when are the rest of the mods coming?
