I recently purchased a TSX, with the negative terminal just going to the fender---1 wire to the fender

This does not seem appropriate for grounding the car, and the start does seem a little slow.

Can someone please elaborate on their grounding + pictures if possible.

That's normal . There are a few other grounding points as well. Clean your terminals to see if that helps . Or try a new battery. With dropping temperatures, a weak battery and poor starting issues can be exacerbated

On my 4runner there are 4 grounding points, one to engine, one to negative on the starter as well I think, is this normal

There are other grounding locations, but your question was, "one from battery to fender". yes. that's one of them, there should be others as well. engine to body, etc. look in your bay and you should find them.

yes i seen a few looking briefly, but from the actual battery only the one cable, could you maybe show a pic of yours?

It's normal bruh.

Wow that is an odd design, I now feel I can raise voltage with a grounding system such as the three wire mod

Raise voltage...



You can potentially decrease voltage drop... but 'raising voltage' is not really correct here..
