I am going to install some grounding wires myself. Anyone konws where the spark plug bolts are? Do I need to open the engine cover to find it? I did a search and found that back in 2004 there is a same question but I cannot see the photoes there :(

the Spark plug area is the best as I have tried on a few Jazz before.
near the alternator, trottle area, if auto near the autogear box.

The auto seem to zap alot of power, use a voltage stabliser (good brand one that works) to stabliser your power.

hope this photo shows u clearly where I mounted my grounding cables;

The bracket is secured to the battery tier there.. Look closesly to the right, and u can notice my Pivot Voltage Stabilizer taped to the side of the battery.

Yes, it does have some improvement, mainly on the throttle. :p
Some say it grounding is a waste of time, $$$ and effort... Some say otherwise.

It depends on how 'sensitive' you are towards such 'mods'.. ;)

I've read that you shouldn't ground anywhere near the distributor or spark plugs as it may reduce the spark.
