There's been an interesting sign up all this week on Main North Rd opposite Mawson Lakes.

Anyone cruising this weekend? Only had my car a week and a half and want to test it out....... 1993 S1 GTSt V spec...... Only got a Poddy and HKS super dragger exhaust, and front and rear strut braces...... Soon to put boost controller in (when warrranty wears off), PFC, FMIC, and maybe bigger turbo depending on how the stock one copes at higher boost levels...... Got to suss some bigger (wider) rims aswell.

Does anyone know whether the PFC will work with active LSD...... I couldnt get a confirmed answer out of anyone on the other forums. (From what i have gathered some people have had problems and others havnt????????????).

I live in the hills so have a fun drive on greenhill road every day? -- looking for other liners to boot with!!!!!!!!!!!

how is everyone's weekend so far?

[Sambo33]

hey duc! weekends been a bit average, ive got an alternator problem

[Nozila]

your shitting me?

[Sambo33]

nope, it only charges the battery about 50% of the time, so sometimes i park & car wont start afterwards

[Nozila]

i think it has been sitting in the workshop too long and now starting to play up. have you fully charged your battery before coming to the conclusion that its the alternator?

[Sambo33]

we checked it with a multi-meter, and the alternator is only working on and off

[Nozila]

fook. i checked mine all my connections ie battery and alternator and mine is gone as well. what a co-incidence that both of ours are shat itself.

on another note, i managed to do some spray painting.

[Sambo33]

you did? howd the painting go?

[Nozila]

im pretty impressed with the outcome. its so much better then the first attempt. if only you were in adelaide to see it and give your opinion on it.

[Sambo33]

for sure! glad to hear you happy with the result! im heaps pissed off, i had heaps of driving planned for this weekend & i cant go anywhere where i have to park

[Nozila]

thats why i dont take the line out. cause i know that if i leave it for a while then the car wont fire up. also, i noticed that when i go to start the car then the battery needs to be completly charged before it would even struggle to start. The alternator drains the crap out of the battery though. btw pete's going to have a word with his electrican friend who will hopefully give a quote on how much a rebuild will cost.

[Nozila]

when you realised your alternator was playing up, how did you manage to start the car sam? did you clutch start it or jumper start it......??

[Sambo33]

apparently the problem with mine is the regulator, and there is no replacement part. im picking up a 2nd hand one next week. car went on the dyno too but the fuel pump wasnt happy above 4500RPM we think thats due to the alternator problem

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

[Nozila]

[Nozila]

at least your car didnt die on your while you were driving
