Let me preface by saying I am not selling anything. Just gauging interest. I'm not posting a link as of yet cause like I said, not selling anything.

I was looking at grounding kits for the 8 and well there are some options they are either ebay brand or way pricey. From what I'm told the company was started by a mazdaspeed3 enthusiast and he is looking for RX8 owners to use his kit. They are very high quality materials, gold terminals, 8 ga. wires with very durable insulation, one of the better looking kits I've seen. And from what the site says, owner of 3's, speed3's and WRX's report a much healthier throttle response and some get 1-2 mpgs. He says he is willing to do a group buy but would need a few people to do so.

Anyone interested at all? Let me know and I will contact them.

 

pics?

 

I would be interested. Im not sure how much of a difference it would make, but if it helps mpg im happy. I do have one question-will this kit be specifically for the rx8 or is it cut to fit?

 

8GA is too small. he should use 4GA.

 

Id like one with a battery relocation kit. that be a nice add on.

 

I am interested.

Pics & price?
How many grounding spot?
Pre-cut wires to fit an 8?
How many color?
4-6 GA would be nice.

 

I just got an email from the company, I asked him about the 8 ga. Pretty much every grounding kit is 8. Even hks uses 8 and their kit is 4x as expensive. I would be the test mule really he has no fitment for our car and wants me to send him the measurements. So I guess we can have it custom made in a sort. They come in multiple colors solid black, black w/ white lines, green, red, orange, white, Dark blue, light blue, and stainless braided. I have no pics yet I will be getting mine withing the week and can have some up asap. The retail is 40 plus shipping, the group buy would be a bit less, but I haven't talked numbers with him.

 

$40 for a grounding kit? how many connections and where to?

 

The alternator, the throttle body and two other grounding points on the chassis.

 

Can you add one more point to radiator fan?

 

I'm not the one making the kits, I'm trying to host a GB for them I'm sure I could ask him for the radiator fan ground. I did however speak to the owner about 4 ga. wires he said it wouldnt be a problem. The group buy price is 35 shipped and we need at least 8 to make it successful. And about $5 more for international shipping. If you want the 4 ga it will be 40+10 shipping. He assures me the 8 ga is not cheap crap by any means.

 

Wait for pix and if it look nice, Im in.

 

Should have the kit in my hands by Friday, so I will post pics later that night.

 

sounds good to me

 

bump?

 

+1 Sounds good to me. I'm a big brand name ***** but if this really is the same damn thing, AND I can make it the colors I want..sounds like a winner to me.

 

Any update?

 

I'm sorry it's taking a bit I have the kit installed and have the pic I will be making a new thread and will link it here. Look for it a little later today. Thanks.

 

:x can't wait. I hope it looks dec too.

 

No thanks. I've already got a 4ga grounding kit. I forget where i found it, but it was on this site....somewhere....

4ga wire is expensive, as is the time it takes for someone to cut cables to length for you and crimp them. My kit was somewhere in the 60-80 dollar range, closer to 80 then 60 IIRC.

 

No luck with that thread yet bose?

 

Hope we could get it before holiday, since many people will have time to play around with it.

 

Today for sure! I have bad luck with electronics seriously. I somehow crushed my SD card, well I sat on it. But I have my lady emailing the pics I have on her cam. I know I am lagging sorry. But like I said TODAY before noon.

 

I'll be watching! :P

 

Ha, I suck at deadlines, even self imposed ones. But I have it here is the linky. Thanks for your patience.
