freetheoranges Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I just want a dime that starts and for this problem to resolve, so another may arise...Fuck Me, Right?So I thought I couldn't start my car today when I parked to buy a beer. I had my dad come and give a jump with his Touareg. When I got home I inspected further, and a wire came off the alternator, EDIT: Da Funk Happened Here? Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 ^^..........first off........you have more than 1 loose wire .......looks like the nut came loose.... ......then it was jiggling around until the nut fell off............. .............then it arched so much the damn loop melted away....... .........chances are you were not charging your battery............hence all the jump starting..........

freetheoranges Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 This alternator is confusing as fuck! How come there are two E's for ground? Do I ground twice? Umm.. fuck. that little guide was no help as it said remove alt, install in reverse order. Arg! Help me, pwease? Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Phat white/red wire to BAT........after putting a new end on it of course........... Black ground wires to CHINY STUD to the left of 2 pin connector OR use a bolt and put it where the E is........... .................................................same with the cylindrical dingleberry thing(name escaped my mind right now).....it's for noise reduction.......

freetheoranges Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks, Busta! I think I may have done it incorrectly to begin with.. I think it's the external regulator? Ext. Reg and black ground wires both go to same E (ground) post or one to each E (ground)? Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Does not matter.......it just grounds to the case....... Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Is this thing fixed yet? Kind of. Ignition light still remains on with the key at ON. But it is running better. Quote Link to comment
DottiBlue Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 You got the alternator sorted though? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah I took some time to fix the poor connections, Blue Locktited the lower alt bolts so they don't fall out again... could probably use the futofab upper alt adjustable mount. O'Reilly's swapped a new alt out for the old one which melted at the BAT connection (purchased 01.24.14 // swapped 2.14.14), so that was okay. Charged the battery completely before hooking it up. I need to adjust the upper mount because I get some belt squeal for a min or two at start up then it goes away. Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi all! Long time so speak and post oics! String wrapped around my mirror and both "arms".. Today is day 2 weeks 1 day since payment.... several more weeks till skins.. T3. Same paint as above on the radiator support(?).. comparison...... there was such an ugly monster scratch in it there....test.... Smelt something burning like rubber when my car was off and not other smoke. /u/smoke This piece of plastic had broken from the EZ Horn I installed and broke mysteriously on the way to All Auto's Busta Nut' meet... melted onto the exhaust manifold a little :( no worries Saw some bigger cell-shaped-sized-of-this before flushing and refilling, running for 10 minutes.. maybe i should have done it again.. or?? Strange infrequent (slow) leak/ stain! boo! Welp, that's all folks! ...but wait there's more! for his first ever 400 post special... taaa-daaa.. Looks weeeeeeeird.. Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 GODDDDAMNIT T3! I have been waiting 4 weeks for my order status to change to "shipped".. every time I e-mail (once a week) they say ... oh it's almost ready should ship today or tomorrow. What the FUck! Then today, since it's pay day I also ordered kick panels and another item - of which i'm certain will take a separate month... My patience has worn thin and gone.. gah! On a positive note.... 2x Riverside r105/ 106 ........ thought they were a3a's.... nope. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Aww that sucks. What did you order? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 2dr door cards and rear 1/4 panels just aesthetic, but that's besides the point. if they ever arrive i'll delete my slander. Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Installed 2x front 280zx struts with spacers and some 20W.... much quieter ride, and about 35% softer. So.. meh that's done.. Still no door cards. Quote Link to comment
