Lights dims after gsr swap?
I've noticed that after I swap a gsr into my 96 hatch, the lights starts dimming (headlights, cluster, interior). i.e. when i let go of the gas, idle drops. I thought that it was bad grounding so i cleaned up all the dirt and ground them again but yet it still dims. Then i bought a NRG grounding kit thinking that it would work but yet it doesn't. My friend also have the same problem. Anyone know what to do to fix this problem?

Use a multimeter on the battery and test for significant drops in voltage. This is a far guess, and this is absolutely shooting in the dark due to the information, but have you checked the alternator. You may want to pull the cables off the battery and see if the car cuts off or not.
