So Pete got me all stoked on doing a grounding mod. My cars volts would drop down to low 12's if i put my rear defroster on, if i went to put my window down at night my lights would dim, ALOT. Well after I got this mod in all is fixed. On top of fixing those two things my car seems to accelerate smoother. Here are some pics:

Groundign kits definetely make a differance. Me and my dad did one on my car and it definetely changed for the good.

this has got me thinking... should I buy one or make one... I like the DIY factor but I never get around to it. I did remove subaru from my trunk today but you can kinda still see it I just need to get my hands on a buffer.

I agree that grounding everything works. Well for me atleast it works. I grounded my ECU, alternator, block, AFM, coils and battery to one centralized location. I noticed it idled better, revs smoother, held voltage better and it got rid of my 3800rpm hesitation. I don't know if I get better gas mileage or not because I'm on it most of the time, but thats not what I got the car for. Good gas mileage? Whats that? LoL..
