errr, i took off the plastic cover over the intake manifold and was look for areas to ground. i asked what needed to be grounded and searched some posts and figured this long list

intake manifold
alternator
thermostat
valve cover
vtec solenoid
fuel injector rail

now i looked at all of these parts and was kinda wondering which bolts??? i was also thinking, the Intake manifold - throttle body- head - valve cover - are all closely connected to each other - so how bout just one ground to the intake manifold? and for the alternator, there is a vacant bolt on the body/casing of the alternator - is that the spot to ground? lastly, for the vtec solenoid, that is the solenoid located to the left of the rear of the engine when facing it right. just pick an open bolt and ground with that? yeah yeah i sound like an idiot, but hey, i wanna make sure im doing something worthwhile.

thanks in advance

edit- errr, now that i think about it, i dont think that is the vtec solenoid. damn, i have no idea where it is.

errr, didnt some ep3 people do this, or anybody have any general comments? oh well, im gonna get back to painting my headlight housings flat black

ill have pics up in a few

 

why dont u do everything to the chassis? crimp some wire urself n stuff. try not to daisy chain everything too cuz if one link goes bad the whole thing goes bad too. 1 wire for each piece of equipment to ur ground is the best thing. u never know if ur intake manifold, throttle body and valve cover are connected in series unless u've broke the connections and made shur that it is metal to metal contact. so best thing to do is to put 1 ground to each piece u are trying to ground to the ground
