would anyone be interested in a grounding kit?

Curious if anyone would be interested in purchasing a grounding kit for their rolla?

Grounding kits help provide a more equalized balance of resistance and voltages between various ground points of your vehicle (such as your alternator, transmission, engine, block heater etc.) Proper grounding will provide optimal circulation of voltage to the various components to help them operate at its true potential while still achieving optimal efficiency. In addition, it is beleived that a slight increase in horsepower and torque gains will result from proper grounding. From experience, after I have grounded my car I've noticed that I get better ignition starts, more energy supplied to my mp3 player (and thus better sound quality and bass), my hids are more intense (so it seems to me) and lastly, a little bit of a performance gain as well.

The grounding kits include:
10 guage wires
Connectors
CD instructions with picture images for easy identification of ground points

The guage wires will be pre-assembled to the connectors and each wire will be a set distance. There will be some wires that require daisy-chaining (meaning wires will be bolted on together to form a link) and if I remember correctly, there will be four wires that will be daisyichained to the negative terminal of your battery. The installation time is roughly 1 hour and a half for the inexperienced and obviously less for the more experienced.

Unfortunately I only have kits that will fit the 06 Corolla (S) and 06 Matrix (base) (as each wire is cut to measurement). I'm not sure if the ground points of any other years of corolla and matrix is the same as the 06s, but if they are then I'm sure they will fit (Buyer MUST be sure that the kit will fit their year and model before placing order. There will be NO refunds. Exchanges can be arranged if found defective upon arrival).

Price: $40 USD. Please enquiry for quotes on shipping.

NOTE: This product is just a feeler to see if there may be a potential interest for them.

I think the for sale forum would be correct for this thread.

no dude.. its one of those kits that supposedly improve the ground on your battery. Like Voodoo said, you can make your own with the right wiring and for a LOT less than what they sell the so called kits.

Actually I think you're supposed to become a vendor to start advertising products. And you're right it should be in for sale parts.

My wife says that I keep coming up with new ideas that seem to be somewhat unusal compared to what most people think of. Something about my needing to be "grounded."

So like if I order one of these grounding kits will that help?

Gen5

A 10 gauge wire is kinda small for additional grounding... most of those I see are already using gauge 4 or at the very least gauge 6... of course I am not an electronics expert to give explanation for this.
