Unhappy Battery Cables

The Full kits are likely going up in price by 20 to 40 bucks, depending on how LittelFuse will persuade distributors.

I've been geting these things free, thanks Demetios, but that was the first 50. Demetios has to eat and take care of family and show he has a great product.

So, from here on out, the cost with shipping and all will likely be north of $233, not $213.

Hey Ice.

I think I should get one of your handy dandy Adjustable voltage regulators fore'n I head up to Montreal. Can't afford any of the kits at the mo (New job should take care of that, soon hopefully)

I'm going to throw some store bought grounds on in the interim.

Anyways. Can you pop me an IM or a mail and I'll get you a check or whatever.

I will be the 1st to say that a $20 increase is well worth what you get in the kit.

I still look at them in awe when I arrive to the garage every night.

Is that $233 for the positive and negative battery cable kit? Hmmm, it would be a perfect time for me to do it, with everything out of the car the way it is. Do you have a waiting list at all for these, Iceshark?

Do not want to sound like a total idiot but, what is the advantage of the upgraded battery cables? I am all for it. Would anyone care to fill me in on the electrical portion of our cars?

Thanks.

First of all cables degrade over time. As such should be replaced.

Secondly from whaat I understand Iceshark does amazing work, Better than Porsche quality.

And lastly. The Grounds In 944 are far from acceptable.

Thanks Sid. That is what I was expecting to hear. I have heard and seen nothing but awesome work from IceShark. I really want one of IceShark's Light Upgrade kits. I hope to scrape together enough dough pretty soon.

Thanks again.

I sent my check out for the grounds only (lay off, I'm broke) on Monday. I'm eagerly awaiting to install them on my car!
