good idea joseph! i am going out to track at10:00 o'clock. also at fair grounds low price electronics, pay to get in but have car decks for cheap.

theimpaler68

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.

ewwewwnotme

We will stick with 1 at wally world then. Let the take over begin!

3rdGenWillie

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

theimpaler68

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.

3rdGenWillie

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.

ewwewwnotme

Yea interiors....

Im thinking parking lights and side markers for me, the tinted kind. Oh yea, giggity giggity.

theimpaler68

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

3rdGenWillie

have u all decode ur cars? just wanted to see differences. mike, what did u mean big 3?

ewwewwnotme

Yea I have Will, check my cardomain page to see.

Just bought my side markers and parking lights, hope i dont get screwed like last time i did. Heres the link if you wanna check them out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/85-92...spagenameZWDVW

3rdGenWillie

looks good, cant get screwed everytime. i just put on open air element. edelbrock works good

theimpaler68

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

and no i havent decode mine at all

ewwewwnotme

Just replaced the belt. And good thing too cause it was in pretty bad shape. Thanks for the find on that one Mike.

Do you guys know of a good cheap place to get my ECM checked. This high idle is really starting to get on my nerves now.

3rdGenWillie

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.

3rdGenWillie

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.

theimpaler68

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.

this one give more insight to where wires go

I think my alternator is a 130 amp. Not sure. My code tells me its a 105. Cant rememeber if its the one I put on or not....

theimpaler68

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.

ewwewwnotme

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.

theimpaler68

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?

ewwewwnotme

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.

theimpaler68

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

ewwewwnotme

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.

3rdGenWillie

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.

theimpaler68

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?

3rdGenWillie

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.
