Did the Big 3....... :)

[tcguy85 10+ year member]

ok i did the BIG 3! went perfectly smooth, no problems at all.

my voltage seems to be constantly at a higher number(especially when driving). my voltage was never above 14 except for first thing in the morning on a cold start. right when i started the car up(which had been run maybe an hour earlier) it was at right at 14.4 and stayed above 14.2 while driving at average speeds. at quick stops at stop signs or stop lights it stayed about 13.9-14.2 for the most part. i was sitting in line at the car wash for about 15 minutes playing my music at a moderate level and it slowly went down to about 13.4-13.6 and stayed there until i drove off. with the car off listening to music at a moderate level it seems about the same as before, a constant 12.4-12.5 after a few minutes of playing.

i don't really seem to have any voltage drop. i'll report back next time i drive it at night with the headlights and stuff on. but i don't expect anymore than a .2 drop. everything seems pretty stable now.

here are a few new pics of the wiring, the trunk and the car since i just washed it. it is quite dirty under the hood, but it's winter.

Dude what springs are you dropped on? Sorry, I know you've told me before, but I forgot lol.

And nice job! Notice any of the hooplah about improved throttle response, acceleration, etc. that people spin over at SL?

the springs are the hotchkis springs. most people with the same springs seem to be hair lower in the front but my drop looks perfectly from front to back and side to side. awesome springs, and pretty good ride on them as well.

thanks! cant' say i haven't noticed any improved acceleration or response or anything yet. it might be true but i haven't noticed yet. lol

That cable running accross the core is tied anywhere?

nope, it's not going anywhere though, the wire is pretty firmly in place. but i will probably throw a zip tie on it just to be safe.

if it moved any, it'd cause me trouble at the connectors or bolts, just routine crap tho.

ok gotcha! everything is perfectly safe the way it is. she's all good to go. never done the big 3 before today but it was cake and definitely seems worth it so far.
