Help with HKS Circle Earth Ground Wire Installation

Please somebody show me how to install HKS ground wire kit. This is a used one, it only comes with 6 wires and the gold plated circle thing. The hole in that circle is much smaller than the battery terminal, am I missing something here ? Thanks in advance.

Looks like you should be able to pick up spy satellite signals on that thing.

I heard Spy satellite signals are good for at least 10 hp

05BlackTsx,

Basically you're going to connect the hub of that to the negative battery terminal, 1 of the short wires to the ground point (replacing the stock ground wire), and use the other ones to attach to ground bolts on most of the major engine components: block, trans, alternator... anything with power / electronics really.

From the picture above, looks like I'm missing some kind of adapter that connects the disc to the terminal ?

Its just a fancy battery terminal. You could also just attach it to the car's fame at the battery's ground point or similar, and still use the battery ground cable for that component, although that does defeat some of the purpose of it.

You should realize a kit like that is primarily for dress-up, don't expect it to provide any serious benefit. That said, installed tightly they can make an engine bay look sweet and also perform their function.
