sorry bout the camera phone pics. it was starting to get dark out. my car was not turning over as well as i liked, so i upgraded my battery to something a bit more powerful than my optima red top. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

this summer when the weather gets a bit nicer, i will order all new battery terminals and re wire and loom the whole lot of it.

sadly, 13.67 was with my car at idle. i was hoping for 14+ but it seems my alternator does not put out anything greater than that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i need to put about a foot more length on my fuse so that it can be routed and mounted properly, next upgrade is terminals and the big 3. if anyone knows someone who can rebuild VW alts, send me a PM lol.

at first i thought you had butterflies painted on your engine cover. then as i looked closer it's just a bunch of skuls. i laughed inside though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

either way nice clean fit there.

thanks. the 1.8t is a blast to drive.

i was in the ocean. but i decided i liked to be not in the ocean, so i elected to swim home.

im diggin the rachet strap batt tie down. looks nice bet it turns over better now with that batt. volts seems a lil low for a car at idle but i never had or been around a VDUB.

how much do those batts run?

 

[req 5,000+ posts]

a pretty penny. but one reason why i got it is that the voltage will keep for long periods of time. i will be out on detachments to las vegas NV, panama city FL, and the ship in the near future and i dont want to come back to a dead battery. thus i spent a little extra on a kinetik.

i got it at millionbuy.com. they had a sale, it was 170+ship.
