I started the car back up and checked the voltage on the battery when it happened, 12.8V while running -__-.

Looking up HO alternators now, any suggestions?

I don't think there is a need for HO alt, just a good strong battery and a quality replacement alternator. Along with your the alternator, bad grounds can also be to blame, I would check them.

Yea lol Ive been absent for a while with family life and work its really hard to spend time with the project, but both yesterday and today I spent as most time as possible getting things done. All I really need now is get a custom downpipe and wastegate dump tube and few minor things, but it should be on the road soon breaking in the motor.

Vic, I'm thinking about a HO alt because I want to expand on the sound system, already this 250W RMS has my lights dimming, no way I'm gonna drop a Hifonics Brutus (It's what I'm eyeing for an upgrade) in there with a stock alt.

Finished wiring up this gauge not to long ago, cool thing about it is I can set peak boost warnings and such, and for 30 bucks I couldn't go wrong.

**Corey2kG** · 10-10-2012, 08:41 PM

Changed the radiator on GTZ413s car in the rain today

All done n day shot of the wheels love it!

**Laidback8g** · 10-10-2012, 08:44 PM

Looking good, I've always had a thing for white 8gs. How much did you get that short shifter for?

**Corey2kG** · 10-10-2012, 08:51 PM

Thanks. I like the silver better my car looks so much cleaner. like 32$ on ebay

**Rach3T8G** · 10-10-2012, 09:09 PM

Installed my sideskirts finally even though i'm not fully satisfied with the way they turned out.

**8thLS6** · 10-11-2012, 12:16 AM

Nice Laidback!

**Ivory8g** · 10-11-2012, 01:52 AM

i Just bought
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261095923324...84.m1439.l2649

Its sitting on my floor right now beisde me. Havent installed it because 1 im not sure how to take the old one out lol. and 2. i think it needs a smaller belt to run and im not sure what size belt to get. if i get a warm day off ima wing it and try and get it in there. My stock alt is finally starting to beg me to put it out of its misery, some days it acts like it doesnt want to charge.

As you can see, I broke a tab in the process. Plastic welded it back on with a solder and scrap plastic, covered it in 2 part epoxy. Thing is stronger than ever

Surprisingly, doing this piece in vinyl was a challenge compared to the rest of the pieces I've done. Got some unavoidable creases and I think something got under (you can see the bumps). Not 100 percent satisfied with the final product, but it will do for now.

Detachable Face. I plan to make a carbon cover for when I take the screen with me.

Shitty pic and unfinished, but here's my cable for the iPhone (Advanced App mode) and USB. I can control 2 ipods here, or ipod/iphone and USB etc.
