So, brought the P5 to a car show today and had the car idling with the subs pounding for about 20 mins... when i first got there and was wipin it down.
So i shut it down, and 3 hrs later when i head home ... i have the battery light on.. so im thinkin FUCKKK i gotta make it home... so i shut everything off, not holding the brakes @ stop lights u know.. saving as much energy as i can.
Get home and the power feed wire bolted to the alternator was MELTED OFF.
First of all , why the hell is it so damn thin??? its like a 12-14 gauge @ absolute best.
So i head out in the scion and pick up 5ft of 6 guage wire and some eyelets to attatch to both ends.
Stripped one end
Crimped on an Eyelet
Ran it thru to the alternator and bolted it on
Behind the motor
Under the battery tray
and up to the main fuse with another eyelet.
Fire it up to find out the new alternator that the guy i got it from put in is shot too... so alternator 2moro!
