just got done making my mikochu über-grounding-system!! how exciting! everything fit perfectly according to his specs. im about to go out and take her for a test drive.

id like to put out a special thanks for mikochu's wonderful DIY tech guide on this install... amazing!

i will have pics of it in the daylight tomorrow with another special goody that will be installed tomorrow as well...

here is what i used:

4 gauge wire from a local audio shop
copper ring lugs from advance auto parts
heat shrink from lowes

i think i noticed the biggest difference in idle, it idles much lower now and when i kick on the a/c the engine's idle barely moves at all... badass.

one weird thing though when i got back, my moonroof was cutting out hardcore. then i just played with it and eventually it came back to me. wtf?!?

I've had crappy idle fluxations since i bought the car :( The Mikochu grounding system defintely helped! Unfortuantely the idle still fluxuates when the ac kicks in (it used to do it without a/c) I'm gonna give the voltage stabalizer a try next :P Hopefully that will give me perfect idle if not i'm gonna throw a msd on the @#$ thing!

I made a mad tite ubergrounding system. Didn't do anything except make my car feel slower.

I think its slow again cause the ecu is reset or something like that. I hope it gets faster again, then again maybe I am just getting used to it.
