I ask the guy about it, PLAYING DUMB, like I have NO IDEA about it.. He says he "THINKS" its a grounding kit, he looked on "eBay" but couldn't find it online.. SO, I offered him $15 for it, and it was a done DEAL!!!! Dude, was a total REDNECK, had no IDEA what he had in front of him, and how much it was worth... So that's my story... 1 in MILLION and probably will never happen to me again, which sucks, but at least it made my day!

Oh yeah, I asked where he got it, he said it was in a TOTALED RSX, I asked where the car was, but it was bought already, so I couldn't go into it at all

there are 3 wires 1 for what appears to be the motor ground, and 2 that are connected at 1 end. and a bracket that looks like it goes to the battery?

Yup Jealous Let us know how it is after you install it. I always hear differing arguments about those kits.

Niiiiice sure wish it wuda happend to me!

Here in town all the "paisas" think an 88 civic dx is a "RACE CAR" so they try to sell u a freakin fender for $200.

If I see an eg/ek hatch or teggy sometimes I ask for parts just to hear the prices.
They wanted $1200 for a d16y7........ just the motor no tranny no ecu no ps pump etc

You don't need to know how to read Japanese, just look at the picture. It has arrows that indicate where they go.

Also, considering it was designed specifically for the K20, you might have some problems getting things to match up.

But to throw off your precentage, I'm not jealous of your over priced grounding kit.

NO WAY! You got a grounding kit for the wrong car, that will do basically nothing for you. And it was ONLY 15$?!

I mean yea you got a $150 part for $15, which is cool. But it's a retarded part. I guess you could hang the box on the wall or something.

So when this gets flipped on eBay for over 100 bills, who'll be laughing all the way to the bank? OP, nice find. I love it when I find stuff like this that I can't actually use. Helps beef up my fund for parts that I can use. Don't mind the haters.
