I have the Iceshark ground cable kit and headlight kit. Both are tremendous improvements on my car.
Additionally, I followed a procedure on the Pelecan tech website about cleaning the gound points on the back of the insurument cluster. There are about 10 points on the mylar flexible circuit that when cleaned increase the accuracy of the gauges. You have to remove connection nuts and clean the copper. My oil pressure indication came into the same spec as listed in the FSM instead of about 1 bar over.

When I first started monkeying around with wiring on my 951 4 or 5 years ago it was pretty clear earth/ground was a big problem. So that is why I started the kits to fix the problem. Bottom line is the retrofit works and people are amazed with how their cars act after it.

Ok, I gotta ask... any plans for another run? I'm interested in that and the light cannons... but money is kinda tight... PM me if there is still hope for me... I'll send a deposit or something... but I need my car's electronics to work!

Guys, here is the deal. The positives are the choke point from a supply minimum order quantity. Negatives are no problem and I ordered enough to do another 20 as people always want them.
35thSLP you can get your negs, no problem. Unless you wait too long. I got cleaned out of headlight harnesses in one day when the UK guys got together and in the evening started comparing headlight performance. I was scratching my head wondering what the heck was going on with all these e-mails from the UK. Finally figured it out.
70 full kits are going out but that took 6 months to firm up enough to go ahead. The first deposit on that build was made January 20th 05. I know there are about a dozen people floating out there that want the full kit. If you had told me earlier I could have just increased the supply orders. But now we are stuck and it is 50 or nothing on the positives.

There is a short negatiive from the battery post to the inner firewall. then a longer one that runs through he firewall and down to the bellhousing. Left hand side.
You really want to replace those cables.
Brian, you got it all instaled. Remember to put the covering over the 150 amp suplemental fuse. That is why I included that slit tube.
Glad to see you got the positive boot on correct.

I'm sure it's worth it...but after reading the 19 page instruction guide, there's NO WAY I would attempt this job. Yikes! I can barely get my stupid yellow rock guards off!

That instruction was probably written by Dr. Andre Ruest out of Canada. It is a little overboard aand you don't need to do all that.
However, If I have teeth problems, he is the guy I'm going to. He pays attention to detail and goes first class on supplies. That is the guy I want to work on my body!

Righto. What's the cost on the negative only? Will that help the jumpy gauges too, or does the full set do it?
Also, deposit and cost for the positives? You've sparked my interest... pun intended

So...what WOULD I have to do to install the negative? Is it easier, or harder to do on an S2?
