Question...grounding DIY

Hi Everyone:

I'm new to the RX7 scene and I was searching on the forum on any pics or instructions on how to check the engine grounding points and that stuff. So could someone point me to the right direction on how to do this? Sorry for the n00b type of question.

You should be able to do a search on here to get an answer, but there are three principle grounding points that need to be checked: one at the firewall behind the UIM, one on the driver's side fender beneath the black fuse box, and one on the block on the driver's side just above the oil pan lip. All need to be scuffed to bare metal with corrosion cleaned off.

Look for Damian's excellent thread about the grounds he added as well, with pictures and explaination. One of the better threads that contain useful information.
