Im sure my car is going to hate me after this morning. Had the 33 for about a year and a half and decided its mothers day so what the hell. Mums been looking at buying a small sports car for herself (mx5 mainly).

So i thought i would let her drive the line for a while this morning. Well she hastn driven a manual in about 5 years apparently, needless to say clutch got rode a fair bit but at one point i just about shit bricks she was almost on the limiter riding the clutch, anybody else i would have screamed my head off but she was pretty nervous as it was.

The clutch smell was so bad took 5 mins to get out of the car. All seems good though i got her to swap back with me and took her for a spirited drive. really enjoyed herself.

anyways just thought i would vent that lil

yeah man but still made my heart sink into my stomach hearing my baby screaming and whining like that was like nails on a chalk board.

Ive told mum when she buys her mx5 coz she wants a manual that i will have to re teach her how to drive one properly.

Ran out of work for bout 3 months i did try the whole u break my clutch you bought it thinkin of replacing with a heavy duty item but meh its mum and she enjoyed herself and i had fun scaring her afterwards (nothing illegal for those who may think it).

lol i can go from about 300kms from a tank to 400km driving the same and by just adjusting my EBC from 14PSI to the lowest setting which is lower than the actuator so i drive around with the gate fully open all the time and get like no boost and if im trying and getting up around 6k i can just manage to get like 7psi

and if i drive like an old lady as well on low boost i can get up to 500km

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
