i was under the bonnet of my car the other day and again noticed that what im assuming are my grounding/earthing wires (from the engine) are eroded.
the thing is ive finally decided to do something about it, im just not sure what to do.

What location is the wire/s ?

You can simply find a replacement ground wire at a wrecker or new from HONDA :)
Its only a certain length needed with the connection on each end so have a look .

You can just use normal ground wire that you can grab from any stereo/jaycar or any place similar. I did this with mine with leftover ground wire I had from my battery relocation. Just put some ends on the wire and it all works fine.

is a grounding kit worth the cost?

many people seem to think not unless you have some really bad/aged wires in which case a quick stroll on down to jaycar or something is the answer and a diy. :)

Ground wire kit does made a difference, but don't spend $150 on it.
Just one of those Taiwan ground wire kits, it does the same thing.
comes with 5 wires, brackets, and all screws. They only cost $60 so is not bad.

Its not so bad, but its not necessary at all. You can easily get them from the yards as other have mentioned in like new condition

a friend and myself made one for my car its not worth buying one go to jaycar buy the parts n make it uself it realy isnt hard. if you really dont know what you doing do some research cause it isnt hard. results wise it cant be worse.
