EP3/DC5 Spoon Earthing kit

[BadBoy]

Are these the same? will the EP3 kit fit the DC5?

 

[Evs]

I expect so, given that the part number is the same: 32600-DC5-000

Who's the bloke on the civic forum that sells them on the cheap?

Spoon one seems bit pricey for what it does.

TP, I already have a circle grounding kit similar to the HKS one, but as the battery terminals are smaller than usual mine doesn't fit.

Paul aka 'tp'. I've got one of his kits - does the same job and only cost about £40 IIRC.

Or you can make your own out of audio power cable :idea:

True, but you need a heavy duty crimping tool.

mine has the audio cable one, but i fancy a spoon one just for the label on the wire :-(

Or a soldering iron / blowtorch. But then if you haven't already got tools like that you're probably better off buying a ready made earthing kit anyway... :lol:

Cheers Evs & BadBoy, have PM'd him.

I assume you don't actually notice any difference with these things, but I'm also assuming it's a worth while mod for the money? (I know some people argue that the cars grounded enough and doesn't need it).

You will notice a difference, the car will idle better.

i made my own with some heavy duty audio power cable, still cost near enough £20 inc all the bits, not as pretty as TP's ones, but he forwarded me instructions on how to do it and where to wire it etc

Have a Spoon Earthing kit fitted on me teg, pics are in the gallery. I have not noticed any idle improvements as I also have a ETD fitted which shakes the dash quarters slightly. However, I have noticed the improvements to be gained from the amps installed in the boot. The voltage has stabilised lots but does fluctuate at the 14.2 and 14.0 mark on the capacitor display. That was the intention when buying the earthing kit, is to stablise the jumpy voltage.

Yes idling engine will be quieter.
Head lights also shines bright.
The audio also clearer.
Speedometer meter light more consist in brightness.
The voltage reading on the guage used to be 13.1v now is showing 14.0V

Is worth the money. Just that have to avoid those hot area like the exhaust. If not earth cable will harden fast and become fruitless.
