    Was bored on the weekend so decided do it and take some pics.

    Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!


    Aim: Upgrade the grounding cable going from the rocker cover to the chasis. Most effective only if your existing cable is in bad condition/damaged. Pretty much the same deal for most DOHC and DOHC VTEC models in the Integras and the civics. Not sure about the preludes.

    Required: x1 10mm socket wrench, 6AWG shielded cable (left over from my sterior install), plug/clamp for wire ends (forget what you call them!

    Steps:

    1. Undo the existing cable using a 10mm socket. Originally looks like this:


    2. Get your cable and sercurely fasten the clamps to the end of the cable. Give it a small yank to make sure its fit nice and tight. Once its done, new and old should look something like this:


    3. Simply slide the ring onto the bolt and tighten up using the same 10mm socket. Once done, she should look like this:


    I didn't have any black cable left so I used the red. But you can always spray it black for the 'sleeper' look!

    This is sorta OT but along the same lines, only taking it further....

    I was just wondering what everyone's opinion is regarding earthing kits?

    I don't have one myself, but they seem to be huge in Japan and was just wondering about the pros and cons and if anyone has actually done the whole 'earthing kit' thing.

    P.S. Wynode, looks much more impressive

    Great! Cheers Win...

    The stockies really dont look that flash, lightly corroded and in tatters.

    My toes are fine thang you very much!

    VTEC16, I haven't looked for the gearbox earth (there is one?) but the one going from the battery terminal to the chasis looked pretty fat and in good condition.

    But stay tuned for more DIY articles comming the week after next!
