I just installed my grounding wires and have the same results as the O.P! Definately worth the money and time spend installing them myself this afternoon.

Phatice, the first thing you're going to notice is the peppier acceleration and off the line response.

It's not like we're adding a supercharger but your car will seem like it's more peppier.

Last but not least, your shifts will seem smoother and your radio may be a little louder.

Any other questions, please ask!

what do you mean by smoother? cuz i dunno why, when im on "D" mode, sometimes when the car shifts from first to second or second to third, i get this small jerk, feels like you didn't do a perfect shift on a 6mt, you get that small jerk

they said w/ the grounding kit you wont feel the jerk when shifting.

The small jerk occurs if I use sport shift and shift wrong between 2-3 gear. In auto mode I have no jerks

Correct


Here's a few pics of my setup. I need to go back and zip tie the wires and clean it all up. I'll knock that out sometime before my flight tomorrow.

For now enjoy my dusty engine bay haha

Center of my engine bay. I'll take a shot with the cover off when I go back in and zip tie everything. My wires are tucked pretty good now so they're not moving around etc

^the point of grounding it to link and extend existing grounding point which your kit failed to do completely. I would need to see under the engine cover to see if there are any functional points that were associated. I dont mean any offense, but if you are going to go throught the labor of doing it yourself, you should at least expect to enjoy the benefits.

I have benefits! The only difference I would say is that some of my points were different from yours. I have an 8 wire kit. I know some people use the lesser wire Black Betty Kit or the more than 8 wire Grounding Gear setup and rave about benefits as well.

I'm actually redoing a couple points sometime in the morning when I finish this HID retrofit I'm working on tonight.

I'll have more pics under the cover, nice and neat with all the ties in place sometime tomorrow before my flight in the afternoon.

Trust me, all the benefits folks rave about are there:

Smooth and quicker AT shifts
better throttle response
increased stereo volume

just to name a few. My kit may not be the exact same one you're using SeCeX ( and I wish it was ) but I cannot deny that I've seen some improvement over stock with what I'm using.

Wish you were in Chicago bro. After I make the adjustments tomorrow and let's say you happen to notice a point I may have missed or so, would you offer your professional opinion on what you think could help make my setup better?
