DC Power 370 XP $899

Probably the most expensive alternator I've ever purchased and so worth every single penny. XP's from DC are pretty much synonymous with tanks, lol

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

alright I think I got the deal :) so here's my thinking. since I'm gunning for a new car... and I'm junking my current and am yanking all my stuff out of it... the yellow top will go in the trunk. and I'll be seeking a better alternator for it also... probably a secondary. as I will probably be yanking the a/c pump out of my next car too.... I hate a/c and I never use it personally. so I'll have room for the secondary. :D so I need to get a second batrery hook up kit. get the big 3 taken care of and probably better wiring while I'm saving up for the new car :D oh and a battery box or hold down kit for the trunk :)

she is allowed to having a working phone so i know thats not true. if she has a phone then she doesnt cook, clean, and take care of the kids. lol jk jk ... but really though that girl can talk on the phone for hours non stop...

back on subject

since your planning on getting a new car i would do the big 3, stock batt upgrade and then a second batt in the trunk. then after you get a new car pull out the wiring ( even the big 3 wiring ) batts and everything. return it to stock. if you get an alt for it then there is a decent chance it wont fit your new car.

chyeah... most women can... the ones that can't talk for hours are the ones I call gf.... lol. they are a limited edition critter though bahahah

yeah... see I'm looking at a newer neon... I like these little cars for a couple reasons and the one I'm looking at has a manual tranny which will only make it better. I'm planning on a srt 4 alt to go in the stock location and maybe in the secondary location also... 260 amps is a fair deal seeing as stock neons have I think 110a alts... the big three hasn't been done on this one yet as money has been tight ther normal due to being off work for a surgery. but I'm going to be getting the kit to put in the new car when I get it. :D but everything is coming out of this car before it goes to the dismantler :D the srt alt will mean modifying the mounts. but they seem to be much heftier units and I have the knowledge and tools to do it.
