A little something for the engineers among us... Could this actually work...
#16
This post got me thinkin... I took a digital meter and checked the Ohms between the engine and body ground and Engine to battery ground. My ohms were like 17.8 ohms, some spots a little higher like 18 something... Shouldn't it be almost 0 ohms if my engine is grounded correctly? If any of you have a meter and could check this out, i would appreciate it... thanks in advance...

I did a write up in about 2002 on doing it for my ES . The concept is the same no matter what car. A basic google search will have more info that i can type in a useful post that will take me an hour and still not have any pics to add.
The basics are
0-1 gauge wire for
battery to body
battery to fuse bus
battery or fuse bus to alternator
the other smaller transmission or other points can use 8 gauge wire.
Any colour will do but the more expensive copper is easier to bend and cut and has a lower resistance.

So the results are in and...drum roll please...
It did jack squat.
I did 370km (222 miles) and that ate up 10.6 gallons (about 210km being highway).
This adds up to about 21mpg.
Strange part though is that I still swear that the car feels more powerful and stable. This could be because of the quickly cooling air here in the Toronto area. Average temp is down to about 8 degrees (46 F).
I could still swear that somthing's different tho.
Guess the only way to verify is to take it back off and see...
