How to install a grounding cable kit - DIY style

[me2kimi]

Hi all, i've did diy grounding cable previously in my engine. Bought un-cut wire at kedai brothers gor rm9.90 only.
Lenght about 7 meters. Need to measure, cut and crimp the terminal.

Oh! yours different. Most GC the wires are attached from the battery negative terminals

RM9.90 for 7 meters? Must be of very poor quality,,,,,,:hmmmm:

yupz.. i know..

the round connector thingy should be mounted at the battery terminal..

but the kit doesn't have a long cable to connect it to my alternator..

therefore, have to do setup like this..

maybe later when i buy/DIY another long cable i can do that..

for now, just use what ever i have in hand

ok. i've use d GC for a while & notice these things :

- lights r brighter inside out
- doesn't have electric static.. this can start a fire at petrol station
- performance no difference..

Try VS, I got better sound quality from my ICE. Of course VS for sound also have, but the one I fitted is for the battery one....

at 1st i was thinking the same thing..

then, i search for a cheaper ones.. it look like a simple cable.. not very nice.. can be DIY by any1..

the HKS kit have 6 wires..

1 long, 2 medium & 3 short wires.. they should have made it 2 long, right?

and the bling bling.. i like

if u can get the same kit for a lot less, just inform me.. mayb i'll buy another set for my other car

Even cheaper if you buy the cables from pasar road and crimped them yourself, but more work and not so nice but very much cheaper. Even my factory technical guy made his own VS for around RM30 to 50, but as mentioned not nice. No nice cover, he put it in container and tape up only.....ha! ha! What he wants is the VS and it will be hidden in the engine anyway.....

function over fashion hahaha!!! tried a VS in my old kenari (4-eyes) not sure which VS.. it was the red one
noticed that throttle response was better

inside the VS is just caps to retain/store power, order high quality caps and double the number of Pivot ones so much more beneficial.
