It can't have that many miles on it as guam is not that big.

honestly bro... i know it doesnt make a huge difference at all...... the only reason why i even went through the trouble of getting a grounding kit is because of my friend.... so i asked him a while back before i bought the grounding kit is it really important? he said no and yes.... he then explained to me that no because performance wise... it wont do crap LOL.... and yes becuase he said your reassuring the grounding points in a car which IS important... for example one of his customers car would not idle properly and for the love of god they could not understand why? he went crazy for a week... wen he finally figured it out it was a a bad ground... eversince then he always recommended adding grounding kits to the newer cars.... its just a reassurance for me bro... i saw how puny the stock ground wires are.... im more comfortable having a massive wire to insure ill always have good grounding.... :tup:

How many miles did you have it on?

Yea i heard about P.I. ;p too bad I never got the chance to go.

Let me get the TT on first and i'm kinda back and forth on what to do next....wheels, LSD, IDK!

I think Febuary would be best but we need to get it out there now so ppl can take the day off.

That's what I figured, did it make the engine anymore responsive? You are definitely on the point regarding piece of mind, that can never be underrated!

i actually just finished it today... finished soldering all he terminals and put her back together... i almost LOL cross threaded a bolt because i was lazy to take out the strut lmao.... anyways i dont imagine it will do alot.... but when i did however put on the original grounding kit from stillen it felt like the throttle response improved :tup:.. BUT that could be a placebo effect lol.... on another note... i cant take out my car for maybe a week im getting some pieces worked on and i dont wanna drive her around not put together.... :roflpuke2:
