the standard earthing on the car isnt up to much really.
Its only a copule of grades up from bell wire!

what some people have done () is to install a bigger gauge of wire to improve the earthing.
simply purchase a component list from vehicle wiring products and make up a set of cables.
these cables are installed at strategic points on the car and all routed back to the battery negative terminal.
I will dig out a list for you both in a wee while.
its easy as pie and the theory is that with improved grounding the sensors are able to run more effectively; hence the car is smoother.

the easiest way to describe the effects is that if you can think what the car feels like on a cold misty morning (ie hungrier, a little more responsive etc).
well after the earthing mod, the car felt like that all the time.
