I know this is an old thread.. But where did everyone place there earth?
I put mine where the A/C vent is mounted on the dash side. Any good for an earth mount?

Was in there for about a month..
I kinda pulled the insulation off the wire... Easily.. and it might be thrown out.. Dunno.

Whats the service history like for it,if its been a while,then Id change the engine oil,the oil filter,the fuel filter,the air filter,if its auto also change the trans filter and fluid.Id also change the plugs and leads,also clean the MAF with some MAF cleaner,which is available in a sparycan made by CRC.It also doesnt hurt to clean the throttle body with throttle body cleaner, makes them run a bit better which helps give better economy.
