May 26, 201213 yr Author 270XP ALTERNATOR HAS SHIPPED!It will be here next week...I will not install it until about a week before the show.. No need to right now..If there is something wrong with it.. oh well, throw the stock on there and make do.There is just no need to put it on at this time.
June 4, 201213 yr Author Sorry I havent been as active in this log lately, been gettin mad work done..My DC Power 270XP alt is inI have placed order for All Crescendo front stage equipmentI have also ordered 12v coolerJust ordered 30 fuses and 6 in-line fuse holders for 40 runsJust ordered almost 300 bolts for all ring terminals and fusesJust ordered all RCA cablesSealing wall is 85% completeWorking on bracing wall right nowAll powerground blocks are cut, drilled n tapped right now.Waiting on more aluminum to make the last 4 battery terminals.Still have to order custom decals and voltmeters and that's it.Pics will be up in about 10 days.
June 18, 201213 yr Author Got info about situation-My headunit does NOT need to be replaced, only all 3 sets of RCAs are damaged so that's good.All front stage amps were tested and work fine.DC Power forgot to send me mounting hardware for alt so it's coming now.Just got off phone with Air Tech, he says the strut is not leaking fast enough to possibly be the strut itself and there is a 90% chance he can diagnose and repair the leak without removing the strut.Also, i told him what high level of PSI i was using to fill them up to and he told me that's nothing.. don't worry about it.About to leave to have the suspension diagnosed and will post what is found tonight.
June 21, 201213 yr Author Air strut still leaking.. I went out there and soap tested every part of the system except for top strut itself and no leaks found yet..Will be having me and 2 other guys check this thing out from A to Z this saturday to find this damn problem..Also.. just got off phone with pricing or new brakes and tires.. Brakes = $900Tires = $700 installed..Damn car audio about to rape me.
June 22, 201213 yr $900 for brakes? What the hell are you getting?I didn't spend half that on the supra.
June 22, 201213 yr $900 for brakes? What the hell are you getting?I didn't spend half that on the supra.What exactly did you do? I'm guessing he's doing an oversize kit with new rotors and calipers.
June 22, 201213 yr Rotora rotors and porterfield pads.I could see where a big brake kit would be spendy but I don't know why it would be necessary on his car.
June 22, 201213 yr Rotora rotors and porterfield pads.I could see where a big brake kit would be spendy but I don't know why it would be necessary on his car.The added weight from batteries, amplifiers, subwoofers, bracing, and wood.
June 22, 201213 yr He isn't happy unless he goes stupid over the top with any and everything he does/build. I say he needs to find a buddy that is a mechanic to do the brake work though......he's gettin graped!
June 22, 201213 yr You would be surprised how well real high performance brakes work. EBay rotors and AutoZone pads don't cut it. I know a couple guys running tc's on the track and don't have a BBK.I told Sean I'd help him with his car but after putting the belt back on at slam I may retract that lol.
June 22, 201213 yr Author Lol, dave. I need to get ur number because you are def a good experienced guy.Thanks for posting the last few comments guys, really!Just got off phone with brake specialist..All I need is new rotors, lines and pads. That'll cut cost by 50%.Also, tires are too big.. I'l save a few bucks by dropping to lower width tire.Once the strut problem is fixed, I'll order this stuff
June 22, 201213 yr If you are getting all that I would go ahead and upgrade and maybe even stainless brake lines. They do help. Or is it already at the shop and they are doing the work already? Hell being that far into it I would drain the fluid and replace it with some motul.About the tires I think you should get some vogues. That would be mad tite!
