moron

You have a genetic deficiency that will undoubtedly lead to down's syndrome in your children. You will be network banned this time. Have a nice life.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Your trolling saddens me. I really don't understand it, but hey if it makes you feel like a better person so be it. Nico is no place for your BS and I certainly won't let it happen in my forum either

[Beancooker]

IP Banned. Continued trolling will just result in a call to the ISP, and a complaint filed. Nothing like trolling a forum, and having your ISP cancel your account.

[Sentientbydesign]

*high five* moron!!!

[rjdmmfl1]

you know this dude is 37 right!!! ... I think his mommy had munxhausen syndrome and fed him pinesol and bleach in his baby milk...

N-E-Way... no need talking about vanquished trolls... as Beancooker said, once they are banned, just keep it moving!

back to my NICO family...

Don't worry Doc. The wifey and I are planning on moving down there. Then I'll find out where you work/live and harass you and your A/C

[FGFCacoupe]

...

well at least for now.. gotta head back to Baltimore next year...

Halla at me when you get here no doubt homie.

I will definately try this product. Anything for a better, more fun driving feel. Even if its all just speculation

[FGFCacoupe]

Seriously bro. It was scary as hell. It may have been May, but it was right around the end of Spring beginning of Summer. 2 or 3 tornados IN MY CITY

Thunderstorms, hail, snow...my wife was scared that it was "THE END".

Email me. I'll give you details and you can determine if you're still interested.

Signs of the times my friend

[AZhitman]

Free speech............... remember we live in the USA just because you think your a big shot moderator does not give you the right to tell us what we can and can not post in this forum.

Grounding wire kits LOL what a joke ..................... guys don't waist your time and money.

Hey chump.

My house, my rules. Take your free speech, roll it up in a big ball, and stick it in your manpleaser, because this ain't Congress.

If you'd actually READ the Terms of Service (which you agreed to), you'd see that you're way, way wrong.

Have a nice day.

p.s. Add one more garage poser to the list of people who don't comprehend why grounding wire kits actually do work.

[rjdmmfl1]

update for folks.....

I spoke with sentient by design, and after seing a few grounding kits installed, I see why many of them DO NOT WORK.... PEOPLE HOOK THEM UP WRONG!!!

Grounding kits are supposed to decrease the resistance throughout the entire electrical system. That why you find as many ground points as possible (esopecially the important ones like the CPU, Alternator, ENgine ground, factory ground, throttle body, etc) and add the ground kit to these points.

After buying a kit from sentient by design, I see that HE DOES HIS KITS CORRECTLY... I saw somone with a 10 gauge grounding kit, that bypassed ALL OF THE FACTORY GROUND POINTS. They attached the kits to everything EXCEPT where they were supposed to be .... and that is why most folks grounding kits don't work and are pure snake oil!

[mcheddadi]

I'll give my verdict when I install it this weekend

[mcheddadi]

Ok! I got it! I'll install it right away I just need to find the instructions

[adidas2go]

So, how did it go?

[mcheddadi]

I just printed the instructions lol, I don't know if i'll do it right now since it's already dark outside and I don't want to electrocute myself lol.

maybe tomorrow morning

[dangeris]

Well I bought Sentient's 7 point wiring kit and have had it installed for about two weeks now. Keep in mind that I have this little gadget installed on the coupe called the scanguage. I used this device to CLOSELY monitor my mileage when I had my 07 FJ cruiser, which the dealer told me that I would see 23mpg on the hwy...Yeah right! Shame on me for believeing the salesman. They're worst than an my army recruiter Anyway I've had this hooked up for about a month before installing the ground kit so the scanguage was/is pretty much calibrated to the coupe. Here are my results thus far:

- Improved Mileage: I was averaging about 28 mpg on the hwy doing 70mph. I know avg about 31mpg! - The audio sounds more crisp and clearer in the car. I had my friend who is a professional audio installer come over with his laptop which he uses to measure the sound in the vehicles he installs. He took a base line before and after and saw that there was a difference. To me, it sounds the same but this is coming from a un-trained ear. but if he notices a difference, it must be true

- HIDs definitely fires up quicker.

- Throttle response is a lot more responsive. I know, I'm like Blake. I love to use the manual on my CVT because I love to hear the RPMs on the motor. God help me when I get the turbo in next year!

That's about it. I'm definitely pleased with the product and would recommend it to anyone thinking about upgrading their ground system. Thanks Nate!!!!

I just finished installing the grounding kit!

just a warning for future install, DON'T TORQUE THE SCREW TOO HARD. That aluminum does strip super easily if you screw them too hard. I did just that for one of them and I had to find a bigger screw

also, for point D in the install I had to find an extra nut for the bolt coming maybe on the install vehicle they already was a nut on the bolt but in mine it was just a bolt's end coming out.

anyhow, so about the quality of the cable, it's AWESOME! the blue is really cool looking.

I went out for a test drive and boy did I notice the faster throttle response, but the most noticeable was the VDC that kicked in MUCH faster and more precisely. It also cut off a lot sooner. On idle the car didn't vibrate as much, the rpms didn't fluctuate as much as usual. and when I shifted the rpm matching was a LOT smoother.

tomorrow I'll do a 155miles trip and i'll tell you guys about any mpg gains or loss

[adidas2go]

Just installed mine at the meet, and drove home 80 miles one way. I burned a 1/4 tank going down there, and 1/8th coming back . Way better throttle response, and quicker shifts in manual mode. Also, the steering wheel controls started working with my Pioneer DVD system again. They used to be intermittent, but they worked flawlessly on the way home Thanks again Nate!

[bronson96792]

cant wait for my kit to come in... everything comes in late when u live in Hawaii

[mcheddadi]

Ok so I did the trip saturday and I averaged 27.4MPG, then when I redid it in the other direction sunday with the grounding kit I averaged 29.4MPG. 2MPG increase!

But there is a caveat... On the 27.4MPG trip my tires were at 35PSI and my fuel tank was full but on the way back my tank was half full and I refilled my tires to 40PSI.

[Marisha]

Sentient, are you still selling the blue kit? Feel like I can't resist the temptation to jump on this any longer

[Sentientbydesign]

Hmmm. Let me know if you don't get it by tomorrow. I'll go dig up the tracking number to see where it's at.

Mehdi, Darryl, Blake,

Thanks for the feed back. I'm SUPER happy that everybody is getting good results.

Sentient, are you still selling the blue kit? Feel like I can't resist the temptation to jump on this any longer

I still plan on making blue kits, but I only have enough on hand to do half a kit. My supplier is out and everywhere else charge 2, 2.5 times as much.

Let's keep our and I'll check again soon. I actually wanted a blue kit for my G too, but everybody else gets their's before me.

I do have red right now and I should be getting some gray in the next couple of days.

[Marisha]

... I only have enough on hand to do half a kit...

Oh well, that's what I get for procrastinating. Hopefully you'll be getting some more soon at a decent price

[Jacko3]

Laugh My Little A$$ Off

[mcheddadi]

Laugh My Little A$$ Off

Munchausen syndrome only happens in Dr.HOUSE lolz

[bronson96792]

got the kit yesterday and the install was a breeze, instructions were perfect. im gonna wait till i fill up my tank to monitor the mpgs i usually get about 400 mile per tank so im gonna use that base number to see if i get any gains. however i did notice that my car seems to idle a little smoother i don't know if its the kit or too much Grey goose but it does feel better

[dangeris]

Ahhh Blake?...Where's your turbo?

[adidas2go]

In my den floor. Like I said before, we are coming up with a solution very soon

[dangeris]

Gotcha
