if your car you cheapskate replaced with oem or halfcut spare parts and your car has all sorts of ah beng modified like audio, lights, then adding grounding has some good side to audio and lights but not adding bhp.

My previous toyota seg blacktop has grounding issues. Particularly very obvious on hard to start and also during accelerations.
So i put in 4 points 100% copper grounding cables. No more hard start and accelerations become smoother. Oh that car is over 20 years old so the original grounding cable already corroded/oxidised.

So how does earthing the car reduces the resistance inside the wires?

It's adding fresh new cables to provide more paths for grounding, if existing cables are no longer reliable or efficient.

Electricity will travel through the path of least resistance.

Agree there will be a better feel especially after replacing old grounding cable.

However, spending RM799 TS posted video grounding cables are madness.

Also, if your existing ground cables already rosak, already oxidized, already uzur, rust, whatever, then changing it surely helps.

Grounding a car doesn't mean earthing, the entire body/chasis of a car is essentially a negative electrode. Sometimes the connection is not as great. Notice that a sparkplug has only one cable going in, as the engine connects directly to it as a negative point

well....it doesnt mess with your existing wiring.

is just adding another cable to the negative terminal of the battery and simply bolt it to the component that has skru hole.

thats plug n play.

Recently....saw a video talking about car grounding cable.

i know having good grounding does smoothen a lot of things....but 700 plus for 1 copper cable isn't excessive ?



i feel like can DIY it myself. for <100 bucks by using some good grade copper cable

it will not last long when ur car engine adopted to it it will become normal again , also the connection will be oxidized
