haha or some spanking joe ;)

i know - ive had nothing to do all week at work sooo thats my excuse but i dont think its going to get any better because my new desk is more sheltered so i can surf the net without anyone noticing and also im not gonig to have people pester me all the time for cars, equipment stationary and shit soooo ive become one of u haha

nah im pretty pleasant except when i get stuck doing someone elses job like stationary - the lady goes away i have never had anything to do with it but suddenly it gets handed to me haha ive left her such a mess! But the pleasantries have paid off because the reason why i got my new job is because i went outta my way for my new boss helping him choose his next car - i went and borrowed drive cars off managers at dealerships etc just for him and helped out with colours and this is before i knew that i was going to need his help to keep me in a job - so if your pleasant it does pay off but trust me i have my days where i really just dont give a fark!

i can watch any sport other than cricket or tennis - too me the most boring sports around - hell i can even watch golf but give me cricket im asleep within 5 mins but the english side do have the occasional looker to perv at i guess haha

i go into an auto shop and i have the same guy ask me the times if it was my car -

Is that your car

Yes

Is that you car

um err yes mate!

Aghhhh accept it - i maybe a chick but i can drive a nice car and yes i do know what its capable of errrr the dipshits of the world!

im like a hawk i watch people so closely around my car - its very much the touch it and die attitude - i maybe sweet but i pull a very mean death glare haha - it was like when i first decided to buy the car ive got and i went back to the caryard to take a good long look at what i was buying and there were there 11yr olds on bikes around it going "thats going to be my car" im thinking i think not! but they were so close to it and im standing there going just take one step closer to that car boy and you can kiss goodbye to ever having children - im so protective of my car - must take my maternal instinct out on something i guess haha

    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
