I did a couple grounds today and omg!!!

first and foremost i am no where near being an expert on rotaries or engines for that matter but
i had some money in my pocket and i felt like spending it on my car so i decided to do a couple new grounds.
so i went and bought a foot of 4 guage pheonix gold wire
and 4 feet of 8 guage pheonix gold wiring

so i ran the 4 guage fromt he negative terminal on my battery to a nearby location on the frame
which when i took the bolt out had no paint under the bolt so i didnt sand
i used the 8 guage for the alternator braket and i ran it under the power steering hoses and bolted it to the strut bolt
i sanded down the surfaces where they would connect
now i wrote this for everyone who isnt a pro and might not feel comfortable meddling aroud under the hood

and to be honest it did wonders my car's usually unstable idle is now as solid as a rock, and the engine feels a tad smoother

i have pictures of them but i have no clue how to post a pic on here so if anyone wants to see them or put them up my email is Steviep_@hotmail.com
thanks
i hope i helped someone by writing this

That happened to me. Glad people are still keeping their grounds in mind.

When I got my GXL, it misfired, sputtered, wouldn't idle, and smoked pretty bad.

One, and I do mean ONE single 9" 4 Gauge ground from the battery ground to the lead coil mount, solved everything.
