Hey all
I'm currently running an earth cable from my battery in the boot to the top of the rear strut tower - which I don't think is perfect, especially for things like the ECU and Wideband sensor, as they require pretty solid grounds....
Is it worth running an earth cable to the front? And if so, where should I go to get some welding cable? I'm on the North Shore.
Cheers
Hunt

So on the tech side of this, is it actually worth running an earth cable from one end to the other of a car? Or does the car shell provide a good enough 'transfer' of the earth from one end to the other? I would have thought so long as you go to bare metal for all the earths it would be fine.

I would have thought so too.

Roger that - I'll clean up the main earth contact point and use a better quality connector.
