So I picked up some ground wires a while ago and although there is a thread on the xA, the kit thingy I picked up has more points listed than on the xA. The instructions say to have a professional install em, (which is dumb cuz they're frickin' wires. Unscrew, put wire on, screw back in.) but it lists six points where the wires go to for complete grounding.

1.) Head Lamp
2.) Transmission
3.) Cylinder Head
4.) Alternator
5.) Engine Block
6.) Intake Manifold

Does anyone have any pics of the tC where these points actually are (like the physical screws themselves). I am not sure which screws will cause these parts to come apart and which are just accessory. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

 

im not sure the intake manifold point will do anything... it is plastic if im not mistaken... NOW.. if it is the throttle body.. then it may...

 

The part that the intake piping is attached to. Its metal.

 

ok so yeah.. it would be the throttle body..

 

good info

 

my dumbass forgot to actually ask the question about the tC's ground points. First entry edited.

 

ok so any pictures?

 

thats what i'm asking for... pictures from people so I know where the hell to attach the wires on a tC at these points without my parts falling to pieces on me.

 

almost nothing is held on my only one screw. you'd be most unfortunate to take out one screw anywhere on your engine and have parts come off. but don't we sometimes wish it was that easy?! lol

 

Hah, yeah that'd be crazy. I'm mainly worried about the engine and tranny. I don't wanna loosen anything that might cause an issue. I have noticed quite a few screw holes with threading and no screws in it. I could probably use those to mount the wires, however I haven't the faintest idea what screw size I would use for them.

 

well you ought to be able to guess pretty close what size they are (8mm, 10, 12, etc) and I'm guessing most would be a fine thread pitch (1.25). they don't need to be long, so just get something reasonable.

 

Ok so I found some bolts for the empty screwholes in the engine and tranny. Anyone know which bolts would be safe to undo to put the ground wire on for the alternator? or the intake manifold? The cylinder head I know where to connect, what's a good spot on the headlamps though?
