Evolution Accessories

Ok, picked up some reading material from the local dealer, and I was flipping through it and saw the accessories for the Evo.

Does anyone have the pics for the accessories(like the sports meter kit, instrument cluster surround, front corner air dams, brake cooling air guides)? And what will a High-energy grounding cable kit do for the car?

It promotes lightning strikes. It's the latest trend in the import show car scene, to help get your car noticed. Strobes weren't all that anymore. Nothing says "Look at ME!" more than having 300,000 Volts of electricity channeling through your car to the ground and setting off all car alarms within half a mile.

I thought it was needed to help harness the energy going to the flux capacitor? huhu


Grounding systems are a fairly new import trend. Many question the use of these systems. Others swear by them. They way I understand it, they claim that by adding additional grounds individually to the cars engine systems (instead of relying on the single grounding cable on the side of the engine), you get a smoother throttle response and hp curve. It apparently cleans noise out of the electrical system, allowing things like the ecu to operate more efficiently also.

I think the value of these systems is questionable. I certainly won't be paying to have it installed on my Evo.
