Hi all,

I've been working on a car blog all about cars and the enjoyment of throwing them around corners. I've got a few regular sections going like car porn, tips & tricks, rants and my latest being tracks & roads where I overview racetracks and b roads mixed in with an interview of a regular at the track. The first one was just published and it features Chris (evil_weevil - a NSW Exec) who was very accommodating and insightful. The track chosen was Oran Park. Check out his interview here:

I've got another interview in the works now and that features Phillip Island and anther MX5 racer but you'll have to wait and see who that is when it's finished. :)

Would appreciate your feedback on all this as I'm totally noob but giving it a go. It's all a bit of fun and I'm enjoying blogging even though I haven't had a single comment. haha. I intend to try to cover some overseas tracks in the coming months but thought it's best to start locally to work out a suitable template before I approach foreigners. In a way evil_weevil is my guinea cop. :lol:

If you think you would like to participate in one of these interviews and you know a road/track well enough to say a few words drop me a pm for a chat.

Cheers

Nice work :)

Tell Chubbs he's an idiot... they're called Federal 595's not 535's :P

EDIT: I am wrong, Chubbs is right, I'm stupid. He's smart. He's the best. I'm the worst. He's very good-looking. I'm not attractive.

      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?
