i dont know if i can make it to the track got some other things to do to the beasty. heater core and fan switch. finally taking out the toggle. i did get my carpet in the car tonight thou. looks really good and feels better to have new padding under foot.
sleep.........what, oh. well i'm gonna go to track to check it out. mike you sure are gettin into ur interior. i used to do finish lvl show cars, if you need help.......Anyhow see ya'll at 1:00
i am going to want to get my seats redone one of these days, heck just getting them redyed black would make them look better. i need to pull out heater core before it leaks anymore and ruins new carpet. so i might as well do the fan switch i have and rad. flush. i like doing everything i can. oh and will i was looking at summit for alternators and they have the 140amp in the same casing as our current ones. if you are still going to do the big 3 then upgrade that too. i need to just so that my voltmeter doesnt drop with lights radio wipers and defrost and applying brake all at the same time. besides i will be doing a sound system again one of these days.
1 thing at a time, i hope u aren't pulling heater core sat. morning. takes awhile. my carpet is in good shape so i'm thinking(look out) of removing it for some time. i have pulled carpets in worse cars and cleaned them, u'd be surprised. can't say is ok for older carpet than mine, but can turn out good. what carpet did u get mike? came rolled up in box? u replace jute? what kinda glue u used? how's it fitting.....hehe..fitting. i must have done a hundred carpet "kits".....hehe..lmao, rofl. fitting. 1 out of 20 have good mold to it. unless u can find orig carpet it's sad to say all kits plan suck, worse than all repro parts. rubber floors actually turn out better. sad. might look into fitting of 4th gen org. factory carpet, even though 400-600 bucks.
acc rolled up in box. didnt bother with glue as of now. i need to do floor pan repair in the future. so i just wanted to get it in. looks good thou. 4th gen floors are different from what i have read. i dont remember if it was too much or too little. cause someone on here tried it before. and i know there is a thread labeled 4th to 3rd gen swappable parts. or something like that. and i had to change the carpet because i had holes and very bad water damage in various spots. 40oz. jute came pre-attached. see you at 1
big three. alternator wires to battery. neg battery to block and block to chassis. upgraking all thous wires to bigger gauge. better current flow and all that good stuff. search for big 3 on here and you can find lots more. very good mod. to do. i need to do this myself
wouldn't assume it ur ecm, most likely some thing small, like sensor. cheap......you get what you pay for. ur step dad know anyone? redline motorsports in P.O. off US1. tgo member said they were good people.

If it was carb related my stepdad would know. Hes not big on fuel injection. I think it might be more than a sensor though. I dont know, I rather just get it ran.
important to have knowledgeable person, not tires plus etc. check this out. redline performance works on f-bodies, wouldn't doubt they have exp. on tpi.
hey will check out this big 3 thread i found for ya! big 3 is suppose to give better current flow and the like. if you were to get a bigger alt. then you would have to do this. i figure you all should see this though. a very good mod.
i looked at advance and all the replacements say 100 or 105. so unless you put a bigger one on... i know mine is 105 and it sucks.
i am looking right now to see what is the differnece between one wire capable alts and not one wire capable. i think the way ours are set up we would need to get not one wire capable. oh and joe if you need to get something for you car like an alt. i talk with a guy at advance in ormond on us 1 and he said he will price match. just take in the part number. i thought that was nice.

I just asked my stepdad and we have come to the conclusion that mine is one we put on that is 130 amp. I got it off ebay like 3 years ago when I had a transam.
so you have no power problems then like with your sound system being in there your headlights dont dim when you got the blowers on and hit the brake. you voltage stays up around 13 to 14 then?
Ehh not so much as I would like but its not bad. There is some dimming when my lights are on but i never drop below 12 and thats with system going lights on and ac.
mine can drop below that even. when it rains... lights defrost radio( just my head unit i have no amps ) wipers then hit the brakes or slow down naturally. the bar drops to like 8 or lower freaks me out. so i need the 140. found a pwermaster at summit $189. i need to see what advance charges. lol
btw heater core is pita. i did it without taking dash out tooo
Yea that low is dangerous. I also have a capacitor on my system. Not sure if it is helping its only a 1 farad but Ive never tried it being off. It should help somehow though. Plus the battery should be of some help.
the rain is bad connection. your car has been handed around mike i wouldnt doubt the wiring has been shifted, you might have ground in bad spot. i read both those articles, the 1 with pics twice. sofa brings up good points that contradicts some info stated early in the post.
again it leads to one opinion to another... but you can never have enough ground and with as much power that runs through the engine big wires are all ways better. ill use audio for example, the more wattage the amp puts out the bigger power wire you have to have not to damage the amp. same instance with everything else electrical. i have run additional ground myself in the car to take care of some problems though. need to do the big 3 and then alt. for one reason... i have digi dash aftermarket head unit. aftermarket speakers in stock locations. power windows locks and hatch. just too much for the dinky alt to handle in my opinion. and i have read around the audio threads that a power cap. in system is a bandaid that can do more harm than good. they are mostly for *****s that dont have enough engine for all that. i have seen that with bigger alt and big 3 you have no need for power cap. so we shall see. have you found anything out about your ac Will?
i learned that i dont have enuff time to drop car off at ac guy to check it. also side note reading thru old gp on umi stuff, owner will give price break on 1000+$ order even w/out gp.
I cant wait for my lights stuff to come in. Im going to next replace my headliner since it is coming apart. Im going to go with the plastic one instead of the crap thats on it now.

Painting the edges of the fogs (where the glass meets the body) flat black would make them look millions of times better without finding new ones. At least you can hold out for a perfect set that way.
Actually one doesnt work and I dont feel like finding the reason lol. I just figured since one doesnt work and the other has lost its casing just get new ones.
hello sky, welcome back. mike, no more power drop when evrything is on? btw, i'm standing up straight on drive way in my new av pic. helps explain scrapes on front. will work on some more pics maybe at beach, or intercoastal. anybody wanna meet in april, joe when is next duty?

Hey all! Not sure if I am going to have any free time till like late May, but who knows.
For the bets on my car.....drum roll...... 458 hp/ 429 lb/ft. Rear wheel numbers. I was hoping for more, but I guess I can't be greedy. My old 88 GTA made 202/302, so I am putting down 50% more torque and more than twice as much hp. 1/4 mile numbers later this year, maybe.
and the hp winner is.........kwik hehe, good guess impaler.trying to get these used hedman shorties, we'll see how it turns out. maybe a turnout at osw is in order later when kwik has time?
I may be the hp winner, but it was for sure at a large sticker price.
I see some posts about problems. If anyone has any questions, wants me to take a look at their car, or needs help finding the right person to do some work, pm or email me. Anything I can do to help!
i just lucky i guess. since i did big 3 power hasnt dropped below the 13 mark on the digital guages. so i really cant wait itll tomorrow when i get the alt. ordered it from summit. very beautiful piece of work. and kwik i may have something to ask in the future so i may take you up on the offer if i can think of anything. check this beauty out fellas...
these look just like what you have the pic of. not bad pricing either. and looking at your pic are you getting rid of A.I.R. setup like i did?? cause other wise you need diff. shorties with the setup on it.
Time and date in april???

No its not. Im always fooling with it anyways. Good idea though. The other day I did have it stuck up there and couldnt press the pedal down. I was freaking out then and realized how far up it was.
yeah that pic i got from hedman, not summit. samething. joe you should talk w/ kwik more he's ase cert. i've already gone over just about everything except popping ur hood and checking it 4 u. tps, dist, coil, etc. talk with kwik, you could learn something, other than heavy equipment operations. ya'll think 100 + ship is too much for used hedman? also that powermaster looks like a beasthedman 68470, yeah y pipe is BS but get 1 made for less like 100 bucks. seem troublesom to install. might become years project.
