Can you throw up a picture of the HKS grounding wire set? I might be able to give you instructions based on another set (assuming they look similar).

5 wires, and a round plate thing with multiple holes on the end and a center hole? It's the HKS Circle Earth system right?

Please see this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/my-grounding-kit-results-84924/

Especially this post: https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...9&postcount=58

That should be the best instruction you can get. I do not imagine the HKS system to be too different from the ebay one - just make sure you account for all the parts that came with your system.

When I did mine, I did each of those points in MazdaManiac's post except the coils. Mainly because it was a pain in the ass to reach.

it's easy, i was asking the same question, but i figure it out.

1) first, you should ask yourself, where do you have your battery?
- mine is in the trunk, so i mounted the gold circle in the engine bay, and i ran one wire from (-) negative battery to the front to be connected to the CIRCLE PLATE.
- if it's in the engine bay, you should have the kit, so it can be attached to the negative battery, directly.

after this, you should be set for mounting it

2) you have to look for the grounding points
- run wires from circle plate to where ever the grounding points in your car. there is a thread to find out our main grounding points in our car.

that's it...you are set....be careful, don't put near any (+) current because if it's getting too close to +, then it's dangerous.

is this a safe kit?

i read up a thread about someone purchasing a cheap grounding kit and it resulted in an electrical fire? I could be wrong.

That kit should be safe. It's the same one I have.

Generally, if you think about it, you're merely reducing the resistance to ground. As long as you do not introduce a short, then you'll be ok. How can you introduce a short? If you put one of those wires over the positive terminal of the battery kit, like the guy you mentioned.
