another option which I may choose is to just go to a local auto shop. they have done work for me in the past, charge me 60$ an hour. bring in the pre stripped and measured wire and ends, let them crimp it, and should be able to get out of there with 5 or 10$ charge.

also checked, I actually paid 3.95 per pair for the ends. the total so far is about 55$. including the screws and washers that totalled like a buck or 2 from lowes.

my reasons for not ordering was not even for the 20$ savings, but strictly for the fact that I like to do things myself if at all possible. I mod mostly for the option to just work on the car. gains are not even important.

That looks like it might be close the the DB color. Do you think they are a close match in person?

Default Blue color

Actually, these wires are a tad bit darker than the "Daytona." The wires are more of a royal or sapphire blue.

Darker, yet still very attractive.

I should be getting a roll of the lighter "Daytona" blue this weekend. I'll post more when I have a set made.

I purchased just enough of this darker blue to make one set. I wanted to see how it looked since I wasn't 100% sure.

Default FYI

The following was lifted from another web site dedicated to automotive grounding systems. I hold no responsibility for its accuracy. I am posting for FIY purposes only!


On a normal system, electric current flows from a positive terminal to a negative terminal through the car body. But there are much resistance at connectors of body, engine and transmission. The resistance disturbs this flow of electricity to a degree that electrical components such as computer, lamp and spark plugs cannot perform at their peaks. In order to get the highest performance out of any automobile, it is necessary to achieve a maximum electricity flow with the least resistance along its electrical circuit. In short, a grounding system does to your electrical circuit like a high performance intake & exhaust system does for the gas. We believe such system is the basic of all tune-up if you want to unleash the maximum performance of your car.

While making sure that the operational circumstance is the same, the below table indicates a 7.7% of total resistance which originates from the car body & the same 7.7% of battery voltage which is being wasted due to the absence of a grounding system.

What does the Grounding System do?


The Grounding System can achieve an extreme improvement on electricity flow and stability by providing a direct ground path from the body, chassis and engine components to the battery negative.

This theory has been known & such system has been used in the racing world for years. Since 1.5 years ago, it has become the hottest modification performed by car enthusiasts in Japan. Its effect on automobile has been proven by dyno tests again and again.

Benefits:

- Faster engine start-up - You can feel the difference even with A/C on and at maximum fan speed. This system reduces the loss of electricity to nearly zero at ignition coil and produces better ignition spark.

- Stable idling - You will hear your car engine noise quieter than before.

- Throttle response - System installed. They indicate a higher torque & horsepower gain. Car used for this dyno test was a Lancer Evolution VI. A max. horsepower gain of 5hp and up has been achieved on a Honda Integra TypeR.

More benefits:

- Increase low & middle engine torque - It helps to achieve a close-to-perfect combustion at low or high revolution of engine, resulting in faster acceleration. A max. torque gain of 0.5kg-m and up has been achieved on a Subaru Legacy BH5.
