#352280 That's not a good grounding point. Amps grounded that way have RPM noise through the speakers, so you can just imagine what's happening to all your sensors when you have the battery grounded that way.

I suggest running some 2 gauge wire to the stock grounding point on the strut tower, and also grounding the battery directly to the rear frame rail.

This is one of the raddest builds I can remember having seen on Civic-EG. Nice work.

I hope they start exporting those tilt lifts to the US soon.

I didnt thought about it... Have battery like that well over a year! And yes at the time when i had a radio in my car i heard my rews in the speakers... Shit! What is the worse scenario with that grounding?

The lift.. - Is fantastic! i you dont have proper garage :)

Another think! Just last night finished my brakes:
- rear Yellowstuf brake pads
- HEL brake lines
- brake fluid - MOTUL racing
