Hi there...

I also grounding a few cars and all of the owners are happy with it.

The most important grounding point to have is the Alternator...ground it
directly to the battery (-).
This will give the added juice to your power windows...a point to the
firewall will help out in the interior electronics.

If you are more interested in gaining performance...adding one point to
the gearbox section and one more grounding point to the cylinder head and
you will be smilling.

Also going overboard by Fitting in a Voltage Stabilizer will also help out
if you gotta the budget :). Personally I think, grounding is already good
enough.

Hey checkout my grounded Vios for some tips.

HI, azbro:

i think for kelisa is hard to connect the alhernator and gearbox to
negative point, because it is too deep.

If you guy havent connect it to the alternator than you wont get the
true 'grounding effect' in your car. Yes...some alternators are hard to
access...but do try. That point is the most important above all others.

Most cars have a stock grounding to the gearbox oledi. But those cables
are budget type even though it looks big. Adding a grounding wire to the
opposite side of the gearbox wont harm anything but probably give better
performance.

Hi Guys,
Care to share more on reason of grounding. Wife got a Kelisa. And looking
at the Vios picture, could not really figure out what type of wire to
used. Please share more info... Cheers..

hi bro mlkulwk,

Have you ever noticed of the following scenario:

1. when you switch on your air-con, your head lights dim a little.

Grounding is actually to make your current flow smoother with "grounding"
the current.

Yes...if your car is A/T...the gear changes will be smoother and more rev.
to keep up with the power band.

Some even notice the radio reception becoming better or even colder aircon
and easier starts. The effect varies between cars and how you ground the
points.
