Default Hot earth Kit

Just wondering has any body heard about these? and also know a good place to pick one up for the AU. I've heard these things can give a nice increase in power.

read that they won't actually give you an increase. it's just one of those motoring myths. you may see a slight improvement on an old car with earthing problems though

You can look at getting an earthing/grounding kit at any decent car audio shop. GL Pro Sound has them, etc.

In some cases, the power to the car will be more efficient, but in terms of making more horsepower... I'd highly doubt whether you'd see more than 5hp gain if that.

I can tell you what, they sure as hell look sweet under your bonnet.

Upgrading existing earths in addition to adding numerous new key earth cables may not seem like much but when you do it the difference is certainly noticeable. Not only will you see improvements in power and torque figures, your motor will run smoother, it will rev cleaner, your lights will be brighter, your stereo will sound stonger and earth kits actually assist in fighting engine water corrosion caused through electrolisis.

Skeptics should know these earth kits have been tested on numerous cars including ones with great existing earthing systems (e.g. Lexus). Some cars gained up to 7 foot lbs. and 5 horsepower extra! Not bad when you consider that you're only adding a few extra earth cables.
