    Anyone running a 'Grounding kit'?

    just wondering if anyone has fitted one of these grounding kits to aid electrical conductivity etc...

    its seems logical but just wondering if anyone has noticed a difference at all after fitting one?

    Less weird and intermittent problems on the clio is what I noticed, before and after. Zero performance increase.

    OMG it just gets worse and worse...

    "Reduced electrical “noise” can improve ECU signals and throttle response resulting in better performance and reduction in flat spots, and you can see many more benefits associated with improved grounding such as increased bhp & torque, stabilised idle, brighter headlamps, quicker starting, reduced audio noise, reduced heater matrix/radiator core corrosion"

    [color=yellow]I would love to see the data to accuratly back those claims up!! LMAO

    Don't waste money. Just go to the scrapyard and pick up a couple of used battery jumper cables lying around, chop them into the correct length and hey presto! 40 GBP worth of grounding kit.

    thats my car in the pic, the fella was looking someone to measure up the bay for an earth kit, and in return i got a free earth kit from it, not noticed any differences really, but you can never have enough earths!
