Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

1) buy a 3g alternator
2) buy a 8ft. length of 4 gauge wire
3) buy a 175 amp fuse
4) disconnect negative on battery
5) remove old alternator
6) grind small section of alternator brackets for clearance
7) cut off connector with 2 black/orange wires and white/black wire
8) tape up the two black/orange wires theyre not used
9) crimp a spade connector on the white/black wire
10) connect white/black wire to stator terminal
11) plug in connector with green, yellow, and white wires
12) run 4 gauge wire (with 175A fuse) from starter solenoid to charge terminal on 3g alt.
13) connect negative terminal to battery
14) enjoy
