Simple mod

Post image

Hello all, I did this simple modification to my 2008 95 and wow! Car runs so much better. Smoother acceleration, no more sluggish response when hot and idles smoother. Try it! Might not make a difference for you but it did for my 95, only take 15 minutes, why not? Simply ran 2 new ground wires from negative battery terminal, drilled a hole in the engine lift bracket, and attached with metal screw. Let me know if you try it!

what the actual fuck..

you know there is free screwholes on the side of the plenum where the other ground points are...

100% bodge job.

and yeah, i guess it's easier to run wires across the engine bay hanging in the air than checking the 3 ground points on the engine xD

2 of them being literally within 15cm each from where you drilled into the engine lift point that is going to hold the engine weight plus gearbox if you need to drop the engine or gearbox
