What year? How much work does it need? HA! It needs a LOT of work! 89 LX hatch. 160K, but it runs perfectly. Picked it up for $250. It's in pieces basically. The entire interior is gone, all the lights missing, it needs door work, etc. Little things basically and time to put it back together, but luckily I have absolutely every piece I need from the last 3 fox-bodies I tore apart. Only parts with rust are the hatch, and a small hole in the floor which I'm guessing came from a bad heater core that soaked the carpet and was never cleaned up. Should have it road worthy in a couple months.

The TaurASS is finally starting to take a shit on me. Time to break out the other Stang and get it road worthy.

Eff that. Tool, Metallica, or G'N'R to wake me up!!!

I am one burnt honky.

Still not a fan.

First thing I would do would be to get the electrical system properly tested. IT could just very well be that your battery was on it's last leg or a defect. NExt, I would upgrade you cable. 4 guage is probably only enough for the 800.2, let alone adding the 400.4. RF is notorious for putting out much more power than they rate, and it's always good to be on the safe side. BUT, before you do all this, make sure you do NOT have a draw somewhere that is draining the batt while the car is off. This may be tricky to find, but it happens quite often and the first thing people do is replace the alt. Then it happens again, and they realize they just ended up wasting money. Another thing I have seen is the alt itself actually causing a drain. It's not too common, but I've seen it a few times. As long as you have the components tested, wiring checked, and everything is properly maintained, I really don't see you having too much trouble with one battery and a 90 amp alt.

Welcome to my world.

HA, Dennis can't sleep.

YEAH!

i did the big 3.does the wire that connects from the battery to the alt. always has current running through it? There will always be a voltage potential on that wire. YOu have the 12 volts coming into the alt through that cable when the alt is not on, then when it is on, you have higher voltage running back to the battery to charge it.

Eh, not too keen on it. If I had that kind of money, it wouldn't be spent on that, but then again, people who would buy that probably aren't to worried about spending that money.

Yeah, I usually buy the cheap $3 ones from Menards for every enclosure I do. It's nice to have a new blade for every box and they're cheap enough to justify it. They do NOT last though, so if you want to go cheap, that is the way to do it.

I don't so much mind the bigger wheels on trucks. Yours looks GREAT!

Kent, how dare you make a NooB statement! I'll let you slide on that as I know what you're getting at.

Where did you find Blade components? They've been gone for a while now.

Acutally how about a little more information first. System components would help, such as amplifiers, cable size, fusing, etc. YOu should be easily able to support a 1000 watt system. What exactly makes you think it is the amp draining the battery and not another draw somewhere? It could very well be a wiring issue as well. YOu have to go through it all before you can be sure. Otherwise, you're still chasing a problem, possibly creating more, and wasting money.

Night bitches!

A Ferrari wannabe Fiero. Not really my cup of tea, but a stunning example of craftsmanship.

Beer.

Love the 15" idea, but the thought of dual 12s is just making me horny.

PErsonally, I love the stock lines the best. I happen to be a HUGE fan of the newer Bimmers, but alas, I never even look at them for it makes me sad I shall never own one. I'd love to have a nice M3 to put around in for a daily driver and RR.

No kidding. I ate at 12, am hungry again right now ... looked at the clock, and it's only 1 - here I figured it would be at least an hour later. Am i missing something or does that make total sence 12:00...1 hour later....1:00 I took it as he was expecting it to be at least 2.

Grr.

How did I miss this shit?????

Hopefully there is no number 3.
