There was a guy parked at maccas today with his hood open to show off his civic engine...ahd the works done to it, all chromed and shit...
Then i saw something... (which i've seen many time now that i think of it) its these "wires" or cables running from the top of the cylinder head/gasket thingie to somewhere else... i thikn they're called ignition leads or something
wtf do they do or is it just bling bling?

They are Spark leads. "Lead" from the distributor , to each individual Sparkplug - providing spark to ur engine ofcourse :)
If , there was MORE leads hanging off these leads...they would of been earthing wires for the spark leads - a hardcore mod to ground properly another electrical item in ur Car.

does it actually improve? does it actually provide a fatter spark or nething? i wanna do it cos it looks cool, but is it worth it?
In my opinion ,
I think a good spark plug can do the jobs more than the cable in terms of performance.
really not sure abt that.

And if you’re thinking of getting aftermarket sparkplug leads

Beware with some "performance" sparkplug leads you will actually lose power.

Leads are just as important as the spark plugs. ;)

everynow and then you should change your leads... and during every service (or ever other, watever u want) your plugs...
are u sure you're talking about ignition leads tho??
coz for some reason i think you're thinking about a earth grounding kit.

What do you mean??
Some people just don't have a clue... of course riceories do actually do something man.
The ability for others to laugh at your car. j/k :P
To be frankly honest man...... I wouldn't bother with new leads ATM,
You haven't done the intake and exhaust yet yer? Do these first man.......... and stop fooling yourself that you want a stock car. ;)
