I was wondering if anyone out there has installed a grounding/earthing kit to their mini cooper/mini cooper s. If you have where did you buy it and notice any improovements.

Grounding Kit/Earthing Kit

PT Barnum said it best "There's a sucker born every minute". Well, unless we're talking about the quote "a fool and his money are soon parted".

Don't waste your money on this - If you ever have a starting problem (engine won't start), MINI will likely deny your warranty claim (since the grounding system is an integral part of the starter circuit).

I don't think it is necessary at all.. spend your money for something else..ie intake

Garbage. Your MINI has plenty of ground straps. I would take the 125 and put an intake.

People at the www.my350z.com swear by those things. I am researching cars and I am between the 350z track and the mini cooper s.

So far the mini cooper s is winning

But back to the grounding/earthing kit, it seams like a load of b@()#$$t but I still wanted to see if there are any brave souls out there that have tried it.

Funny. I'd never heard of these things until reading this post yesterday. Today talked to a buddy who just bought one and swears he can feel a difference. His car? New 350z!

I'm going for a spin in it tonight.

Maybe the new 350 has grounding issues?
