I am well aware that your WRX is in standard tune at the moment
but if you were to do any mods I am sure you would do the earth mod...
I am thinking of the same and so would appreciate any help you can offer.
parts list..?
Time taken...?
How do you disconnect the battery without the alarm going off...?
cheers for your help

He wouldn't would he?! 
Andy - Paul did this mod for Len IIRC, can be reached at Big.Badbads@btinternet.com, but I know he's a busy bunny at the moment
Sure Len will answer soon anyway

Well I'am here at last! Peanuts you have reminded me that the earthing mod is one of the few that I have undertaken! and although Paul helped out with the materials ( he's a sparks by trade ) and a bit of advice I actually did this mod myself! easy to do if you've got the cable,ends and crimpers and I did not have any problems with the alarm going off as there is no need to disconnect the battery as all your doing is "adding" extra earths to the earth side of the battery (clamp bolt). Give Paul an e-mail as Jen suggests and he may be able to help with the materials, he had originally organised a "earthing party" for the Hants mob but only I turned up!
Cheers,
Len.

Ok,parts list acquired
Just a question for you Len,
did you link all the wires in series and then make a single connection to the battery, or did you make indivdual earths each one connecting to the battery?
And where did you make connections?
Im thinking about, ECU, alternator, struts etc?
Jamie, getting the parts from Maplin, bout £13 all in
Hows about saturday morning for Lambda?

Peanuts,
Individual wires from the battery are best,I put one to each strut tower,one to the engine near cam cover (battery side),one to the inlet manifold,one to the body earth point behind headlight (battery side) and one to ECU.

Len;
my modding has hit financial constraints in as much as mrs Peanuts has started coming to the meets and is getting to grips with how much it really costs!
wife pounds no longer have such a good exchange rate!!
time to start working cash in hand again methinks
