NGK plug cables

Finally decide to change my original plug cables that is from the halfcut when the x-owner convert the engine. I also do some checking on the old plug cables by using the multimeter i bought from http://www.lelong.com.my/. The way i check the cables just measure the resistance of the cable and compare the reference value from my BPT service manual. The 5th cable that connect between the coil and distributor was totally out of spec...that is one of the main reason i decide to change my cables.

Thanks to my friend kk, i get this cables from him with a very attractive price. Although is used but the condition is still very good. Again i check the cables with my multimeter again...not bad, all cable with relatively low ohm :) the most impressive is the 5th cable that is quite long but also maintain very low ohm as claim by NGK.

After the checking is done, the cables now sit nicely in my lantis engine bay now. Installation is straight forward as long as u not mix up the possition.

The first noticeable change is the engine become smoother than before. Hope this cable really will eliminate my jerking problem. :)

DIY Grounding Wire

Since the cars at my house are quite old already, for sure the grounding wires on the car are worn out due to the cheap material being use, heat and etc... So i decide to DIY some new grounding cable for it and also add some blink2 staff to the engine bay.

First is to get the wire that suitable. i opt for cable that use to power the amplifier. These type of cable normal has very low resistance and can withstand heat very well. This is crucial as these wires will put in the engine bay and of cos it will be very hot. So bad when i get from the shop, the available color only red.



Next is cut the wire with the correct length u need and insert the connector to it.



To make it better, i solder the connection between the connector and wire. It give me felt like this will work better :P My soldering skill is not that good :(



After that, cover the connection with sumitube. It give the feeling that the ground wire is branded one :)



To make sure the connections is good, i use multimeter to measure the resistance of the cable. Set it to 200 ohm as the reading will be very small. The result was very satisfying :)





So far i had do around 13 grounding wires and 2 into my lantis, 5 to my daily drive Kelisa and 6 to my sister'2 Satria.

This one still not yet done becuase out of cables already....
