You're fucking shitting me. And there I was thinking I'd seen it all when I saw the supercharger that was an induction kit with a PC case fan bolted onto it.

5dr corsa-3dr_polo: loooooool i think that is dog shit in the bottom left hand corner! haha i should really pay more attention when taking pics!
JayCarr: how you doing mate, aint spoken to you in ages! Still coming through my little village then
Corsa-SXi: I was lucky i found it local to me and i knew someone who knew the person selling it. He couldnt afford to run it as he lived too far and had a long commute to work.
I know someone with the buddy club condenser and it just seems all he's electrics work alot better (interior lights dont flicker when starting engine, eleccy windows work faster, brighter lights, battery holding voltage)

It is true that better earths, put less strain on the electrics, like if you add an extra one onto the block the starter motor turns over that bit faster becuase wires can only take so much current.
eg if you are jump lead charging a car, you may notice the wires get warm after a while, thats because it can't take the ampage needed so you double up the wires sometimes, same thing with earthing but not as extreme, what I would do is get some gold connectors (or normal) from halfords £5 and some 4 gauge cable cut £5-10 and not waste money on that £110 "kit", maybe some £1 capacitors to smooth the voltage if you want.
