    charge

    well i backed the esky out yesterday and noticed the charge light not go off.........we were going for a 30min drive and we got about a kilometer down the road and it had still not gone out. (this is at night), so drove back home and got out the silver thing that you plug the red and black wires into. do u call that a voltmeter or what? anyway, at the battery there was only 11.70V. so we popped the hood and the fanbelt was still one one peice. wobled the plug thing going to the back of the alternater just on the chance that it mite be loose. which it wasnt. tested the battery again................same. Then out of randomness i reved it to about 6k and the light went out!!!!!!. Now it was getting 13.(x)volts!! so off we went. as we were leaving our destination, it did the same thing and had to rev it up to 6....... any ideas, it didnt use to do this.......
  16. more shit todo, stupid flatty at the front. luckly it was only at my whare. cant get fuckin spare out because of the sub box, so gonna chop half of that up, as the part where the amp is, is not a sealed chamber. then gonna have to move battery box and gonna leave more fuckin holes in the boot. meh, on the plus side, there is something for me to do and i will have more boot space. old cars huh
  17. the next step,? save up some more coin and harden that suspension up. Better brakes fo sure and maybe "limo tint" the colour? ford sunburst orange i think its called.
