now i've never heard of these before :? so could someone tell me whether these things are the best thing since sliced bread? or is it a load of crap like the electric superchargers? :lol:

Main site says;
Benefits of installation include:-

increased hp*
increased torque*
improved fuel efficiency
stabilised idle
brighter lights
quicker engine starts
reduced emissions
reduced audio noise
better protection from potential engine damage from poor ECU outputs

cheers

Lol at Stu.

However it is a known fact that most Jap cars have rubbish earthing connections or in my cars case its 17 years old so the earthing connections on it have started rotting away.

Wouldnt believe the hype above but it is a mod worth doing.

It will not improve the performance - I only fitted one as i wanted to know I actually had an earth .. lol ...

yeah i didn't think it would increase power anyway, i thought it would just improve the electrical circulation

There is an argument that they can cause interference due to them looping about all over the place instaed of one common point. I can't comment really as I don't fully understand it tbh

A good earth is important and it is always worthwhile fitting a good heavy duty one with a good clean connection. Power gains I doubt but it is a good idea to do it.

lol cheers Scott :roll: :P

right so i'll just replace the earth points on the car with newer ones if they are all corroded, judging by the couple i found i reckon they'll all be like that :? thanks for the imput guys
