Ground wire.. where from?

Possibly the one that goes from the gearbox to the firewall (right next to the pitching stopper mount thingy i.e. stops motor rocking back and forwards). I've never had that connected on any of my car's as they all seem to corrode at the terminals and fall off anyway.

Dammit DRFVDR!!!!!! I was still typing haha.

If you are missing a ground strap, then the engine won't even turn over. So if it doesn't turn over, put it on. If it does turn over but doesn't start, then it's not that.

And yeah its common to have a ground strap to a bolt close to the starter motor, under the top mount intercooler, passenger side.

Its the earth lead from the gearbox to the firewall. You don't have to have it fitted, although every little bit helps on these old cars. No it won't stop it from starting. If you can smell petrol in the engine bay, I wouldn't be trying to start it.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
