SxExCx Grounding Kit for Manual Tranny Review
07 Coupe with Manual Trans
I received my kit yesterday. What better than to receive a project in a box on a sunny Saturday morning. Oh honey "I'll be outside for a few hours". Perfect.
The quality of wiring was really nice. The instructions very clear and direct. Plus the wires were labled with numbers in relation to the installation steps. Installation of the wires was fairly easy. Only bad part was snapping a ground bolt that was bolted into the inner fender wall (Bolt looked rotton to begin with). No biggy, just relocated the ground to a neighboring bolt. Plus I dropped a bolt and couldn't get it out. Fell somewhere behind the brake cyclinder assembly but that's what I get after a night of eating and drinking....
If it wasn't for dropping/losing a bolt and snapping another one, then running to the store to get a replacement, this mod would have taken less than an hour.
Differences noticed:
1) The idle was smoother on a cold start
2) Radio bass and treble was stronger
3) And here is the kicker, my throttle lag on my accelerator pedal went bye bye. The car was more responsive in the lower gears. The car wasn't faster....Just more responsive when stepping on the gas. It wasn't a night and day difference BUT much better than it was. Gave it more pep. Who would have thought stepping on the gas and actually getting a decent response from your car was a requirement for modem automotive technology. This should be standard.
In the end, I am very pleased for this upgrade. The car definetely liked it. The communication of the seller was great and the product speaks for itself...
