Did you come up with a mounting place for the Grounding System?

***VSGTS14*** · 07-18-2006, 09:04 AM

he used a bolt and nut and placed it on the side of the plastic battery tray.

Chris05STi · 07-18-2006, 09:24 AM

Yup, what Billy said. I will mount it better when I get a lighter/smaller battery like the Braille or Oddessy.

A Turbo timer, Racing Gloves AND a Grounding kit? You are definitely gonna be TEH FASTAR!!!

BTW -Your car is CRYING for some JDM PINKS.......thats where I woulda spent the dough.

WHat does the grounding kit do for you?

Chris05STi · 07-18-2006, 10:27 AM

Hmm I wonder where I could get JDM Pinks and RCE Camber plates?! I know, she needs to be dropped....If I can't get an AWESOME deal on the pinks with Camber plates....well, I am still going to go ahead and save for the coilovers...do it and get it done the way I want!

Grounding kit...umm added some bling under the hood, and helped with the sound of the radio, and the lights from dimming so much.

You coulda made a grounding kit yourself for like 5 dollars. All you need is two wires running from the battery to a ground.

Well the welder tried his best...got most of it out, but the acid/degreaser that Billy used works well with Stainless Steal...but with the Ti tip thats on the G200, it reacts and eats away at it. The thing is the G200 has a Ti tip RIVETED onto the Stainless Steal tip. Basically Ti can't be welded onto SS. The Ti tip that has a blue tip is placed ontop, with 3 rivets. So I contacted Invidia in Ca, and the guy said he has to contact them in Japan or somewhere, and see if he can get me a new tip with rivets. So basically all I would have to do is drill out the rivets, take the old Ti piece off, and put the new one, and rivet it back in there. Sooo, here are the pics after the tip got cleaned off......honestly, its just me, I hate to see something look like crud, I dunno, me trying to be a perfectionist, I just loved the tip being all blue...ugh. Hope it all works out and I get a new tip I can rivet on!!!!

Also picked this up...ehhh, might get the other one that JapanParts sells.
