Ground Wires

Post by Roadpig »

I haven't found any (recent) discussions regarding grounding wires installed in the Vibe. There are some deep discussions in matrixvibe and matrixowbers forums. So I was wondering, has anyone here installed them, and of so, was it worth it/notice a difference?

I did it... and to be totally honest... I can't tell the difference. But then again it only cost me about 15 dollars to do it. However insulating the A/C Line, now that was a great mod! Good luck

By insulating the AC line it helps the AC cool faster. Here in Sunny Central Florida it get's hot... and when you turn on the AC you want it cool. The AC line runs right past the engine, and it heats it up, causing condensation to form on the line. The insulation keeps condenstation from happening, and insulation is real cheap... worked for me!
