lol was wondering what was happening with the soundoff

wish my shed was a bit nicer, id just hold it outta there

unfortunately its home to my corolla pulled apart into vairous pieces and as soon as thats out on the weekend my VL Turbo is going in to get reassembled minus the tubo to get it over MVR inspection then slowly the boost will return :D

oh yeah and once the f***ers running it will be filled with a ridiculous amount of sound gear...

im gonna need some serious juice to run it... any one know where the best prices on dry cell high CCA batteries can be had?

same goes for a higher capacity amperage rebuild on one of my spare VLT alternators...

hey sorry to kinda half highjack the thread i sorta got carried away lol, ill dlete the post and start a new thread if you likey...

Battery World does optima, they are around the $350 mark though.

If your not set on a dry cell then battery world also stock supercharge batteries which have quite high CCA and RC for thier size and price. I think the one i got is about the same size as a comodore battery but has 600cca and 105rc got it for $130 with a three year warranty so i thought that that was pretty cool, they have a marginally higher max rechagre voltage as well so it will be able to handle a higher power/ multiple alternator/s.

As far as alternators go try to get an ambo one = lots of power at idle, think their ~120 amp max but they make it a relitivley low revs compared to most alternators that peak at ~5500 rpm.

sure do, but i'm borderline fired. The boss we have at the moment is a straight up f@ckwit.

The only reason i have hours is because of the assistant manager (michael) he is a champ.

good luck with the job hunt :good:
