Grounding kit

Featured Replies

Fitted this to my car this morning and there is a noticeable increase in responsiveness, smoothness and power probably due to the first two things, I've read a lot about them and I have also cleaned all the grounds I can find on the car before (edit:- 2/3 months ago), but this really has made a difference, no placebo effect, I know how my car drove before and after and I also did not disconnect the battery so didn't reset the ecu, I have grounded both heads, the block, the alternator and the throttle body

just thought I would share my findings, will give an update after a few days if anyone's interested 😀

Probably cleaning the earths was beneficial if they were high resistance but each to their own with the grounding kits and in my opinion it is all in the mind but the mind.

I had already done the earths 2/3 months ago, and every car is different, it's made an improvement in mine for sure, people have their opinions and also if your car is earthed great anyway I suppose you won't feel a benifit

whats your opinion on slick 50 ?

If you are happy with the grounding kit then great but as for slick 50 i personally would keep away and of course then there is amatech engine restore so the oil  addatives issue is a minefield but i am interested on you opinion on slick 50 etc.

Well I ran slick 50 in my cosworths after engine rebuilds and running in and I run it in my scoob and any other performance car I've owned, I personally believe the marketing and to this day I've not had a problem with it, I've no evidence either way of course, but I feel happier thrashing the as-s out of the cars with it in, I'm obviously older and calmer now so the scoob gets a mild ragging, but the cosworths and the gto especially got thrashed on a daily basis 

i don't go for anything else like oil stabilisers etc I just run decent oil and change every 3000, I did just run redex advanced injector cleaner tho 

Tbh if I'm thinking of buying or doing something to the car I will research the ins and outs for weeks and I'm a bit sceptical of most things, but I thought I would give the grounding kit a go and see, and for me it has worked, even the idle is noticeably smoother, I'm not trying to promote a sale of one in particular as I made mine myself, I just thought I would  share my personal experience 👍

 Glad slick50 works for you but what engine oil do you useand i have done a little research into oil additives and find big claims for amatech engine restore but dont know anyone who has used it.

Never heard of the amatech, really my slick 50 usage dates back to the mid 90s as that's when I started using it, as for oil, I use Granville Motorsport 10/60 fs



Great to read your views and i think i have an idea of your age range but sadly for me i could be your very very elderly big brother if we were siblings.

Lols 🙂 Just peeked your profile to see how old you were but your keeping it under your hat 🤐, tbh I feel a lot older than my 46 years at times... Not mentally lol just physically
