Default !!!-GROUND KIT-!!!

I am going to install my ground kit on my 99' Accord Sedan (Vtec, 5-speed). I want to know where i can find out how to install them. What are the best ground points? Im installing it on Monday so i need some help pretty quick. If anyone knows any other sites that have instructions, tell me please.

Also, the ground kit i bought looks like it replaces the factory negative cable (the kit came with a new negative terminal clamp that holds the grounding assembly). Should i remove the factory negative cable or what? I'm kind of stumped...

hehe, yes, you have to remove the factory negative, every line is suppose to connect to the battery negative which is why its a bit different from the factory one. Why is this you may ask. Its because current flows from the ground, not the positive so you want everything grounded to the battery terminal because its a cleaner connection to the ground there.

But what do i need to connect after i take the stock terminal off. Does anything on the new ground kit have to hook up to where the old one was? if so, where do they have to go. I have a 99' Sedan (Vtec - 5-speed) i really appreciate your help.

there will be one wire that connects to the chassis right next to the coolant reservoir. There is one on your transmission/engine you can follow the wire from the ground on the battery to there, theres one on the right side of the engine on the engine mount. Its a sickly little wire there. I think there are 1 or 2 more spots but i cant remember off hand. I believe light show will be able to either mention of find pictures of something for you. I hope he does so I can find out if i missed something. lol
