appreciate the insight but i'd like to be the judge of that myself. i actually got a killer deal on it which is why i am testing it myself, and THEN maybe if it does not work out for me, i will sell it =) the stillen one only gives me 5 locations, i do have 4 more, any ideas? =/

Here's the link to the gordgee thread. There is a ton of information on it w/ pics:

https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...=55081&page=23

The website is here:

http://groundinggear.com/

I'm sure you can find instructions somewhere there. If nothing else, you can contact gordgee, his username is "Gordgee" - I think he's an admin on this forum ... or at least that's what I remember from way back so not sure if that's still the case. You can pull the contact info from the website and I'm sure he can send you a soft copy of the instructions.

Now about that lesson I want to get started playing but not sure where to start. Any recomendations for good guitar and a self-teaching tutorial?

as for that lesson =) first decide on a guitar, electric and acoustic have their own advantages, although I suggest you get an acoustic for now(helps build the callous on your fingers too hehe) carlo robelli or ibanez are pretty good for beginners, save your money for the electric that you will purchase in the future =)

here's a site thats a good place to start www.ultimate-guitar.com lyrics,chords,tabs,finger position,pretty much everything you need is on here. i always tell people to pick a song that they like so that they would be interested in playing rather than telling you what song to learn.

EDA / CG / BF, in that order, learn those chords. you know you are ready to move on to the next one if you can change chords within a second =)

that should be enough to keep you busy for awhile =) good luck to both of us and if you need anymore help just let me know.

Many car mags have tested ground wires and found a "measurable" difference in the dyno and with auto transmissions. They DO work.

According to an article in the December 02 issue of Import Tuner pg 76, there is an increase in HP from the earthing system. Here is what the article said:

For the tests they chose five cars that came in relatively common modified trims: a 1997 Nissan Maxima, 1995 Mazda RX-7, 2002 Honda S2000, and a 2002 Suzuki Aerio. They base lined each cae, installed the Hyper Ground System, and then made another dyno pull. Each and every car showed some kind of improvement, some cars more than others. In some cases, they had to change the locations of the grounding points to find maximum performance gains. This was probably because of the cars' relatively mild state of tunng. Both Sun Auto and XS Engineering told Import Tuner that highly modified cars would see even more significant gains in horsepower, because modified cars generally have a greater demand placed on their electrical systems.
