Hey guys, just thought I'd post this for anyone interested. I'll be at both, trying for a +140. Good luck to all!

Hello, I know you said not to post technical questions or price quotes, but this is just an idea. I don't want to be a bother, as I'm sure you get tons of questions from people "dream building". This is not me, but I do try to plan ahead. But I messed up, and bought a cheap LoadBoss 190a about six months back for my 2002 non-turbo Cruiser. So far, it is doing okay, but after reading about other LoadBoss alts, and learning of MechMan alts, I realize my mistake. I guess you get what you pay for. That's why I wanted to post this, for the next guy to learn from my mistake. So, I recently spoke w/ Chris at MLA about a voltage module, but I want to get in touch w/ you before I do anything, and see what you could do for me. What I have in mind is this: I recently found out that my air conditioning compressor is bad. And since these cars have little room under the hood, I was thinking replace the compressor w/ another alt, possibly 2 more alts, if enough room. Also, replace the factory(LoadBoss) and have a complete MechMan setup, w voltage boost module, if that is an option? So, I just wanted to see if you can help me. I need to get some rough figures of what it will cost, so we can make it happen! Thanks for your time!

So, is no reply a polite way of saying "NO"?

I am a mechanic by trade, although I'm experienced in carpentry, HVAC, roofing, concrete, and many more. I've had a lot of jobs, only fired once. I'm a good worker, I just have some misdemeanors on my record, and so far that has kept me from getting a "career" job. Well, that AND my own immaturity.

Hey guys, Purplehaze here, I wanted to put this out, just in case, you know. Anyway, I recently lost my job due to this economy, and to be honest, I am ready to start over new, somewhere else. I live in Southern Ohio, in what has to be one of the most depressed areas of the US. There is not much opportunity in a town of 300 people. I am 31 yrs old, and I have full custody of my son, so that will not be a problem. I am really good at a lot of things, I just need the right person to give me a chance. I'd like to find a career, or at least a dependable job, and start a new life in a new place. I'm sure many others feel the same way. I have been thinking of this for years, I just don't really know where to start. I'm open to any ideas, opinions or suggestions.

Hey Neo, I know this thread is a year old, but is there any hope that they will again be hiring this year? Thanks.

LOL! That was great, ATV was "gone with the wind"! Omg I could see that happening to me, that would suck! Except it woulda hit the pole 4sure if it was me!

I used circuit breakers instead of fuses. Like someone else said, if everything is right, and your not constantly flipping it back on, then they work fine. Houses use them, and w/ a lot more current than is in our cars. Sure they can f*ck up, but so can a fuse. If they were THAT dangerous, everyone would still have fuse boxes in their house. And yes, houses AND cars have burnt b/c of breakers. But they have also burnt b/c of fuses, too. My opinion is, if you do it right, either one will work fine. It's more a matter of what you want. BTW - pm me if your still looking at them, I have 2 extra 200a Stinger cb's I'll let go pretty cheap, and they are still brand new in the box.

Well, it was a boring, rainy day here in southern Ohio, so I played w/ the system a little. Did some burps, then some music. So, what do you guys think? (I know I'm a dork, I was talking about the car!)

Wow, everyone needs to go a little easier on this fella, he doesn't claim to be an expert, and he clearly asks for help right off the bat. Damn, remind me not to ask any stupid questions around here!

Is this really the wrong section? I would have guessed that this is exactly where to put it. "Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer" So where would the right place be? BTW the dude w/ the pvc was AWESOME!

Bahahahahah! Well said, man I hate when people talk shit like that, it does get old.

Yep better stay on the grades man! Again, I would LOVE to be able to do things different. Make good grades, stay on track. Have a much easier life! Then you can have some wicked fun with anything you want!

Man, I would definitely go w/ the engineering! Then you will make big money, and then you will be able to handle life easily, AND build some bad ass systems too! B/c you will be able to afford it, and b/c you will still have the passion for it! But that's just my opinion. I wish I was in your position again. I'd be doing the engineering. And my whole life would be better, as well as my system!
