Ouch!

Bugger. What does that actually mean for you? Replace the bearing only - or will it have done some more damage further down the line? Is it because of the drama you were having with the alignment not long ago?

guess its from going through a bunch of water last week, got into the bearing which more than likely had no lube or little lube left and just mc fugged it.drive shaft will be comming out, whole bearing needs to be replaced, shaft will get balanced too

currently sounds like a bunch of crickets under the car

[B4TT]

least it is a pretty easy job.. pain in the arse though.

Alex,

The Celica is still running OEM sealed beams?

If so, you may find that wiring a relay to them will improve them heaps.

I did this to one of ours with its Lucas (Prince of Darkness) sealed beam lamps and they went from terrible to acceptable.
I must admit, keeping the OEM lights was the only option.

Jason,

she was still running the original sealed beams.

despite the engine conversion, she's still running the original alternator. No idea as to the amperage of it, but I imagine it's craptastic.

I'm wanting to upgrade it to an EA Falcon unit, as with minimal mods, it'll fit (grinding a couple mm off the rear mounting foot... and apparently the Bosch ones are externally regulated, so I can continue to use my regulator?)

Once I've sorted this alternator debarcle, I can then proceed with the Gilmer belt drive ordering and installation.

Alex,

The output should be stamped on the alternator body.

I would suggest 40-50A.

Unless you have added lots of additional load to the system, a higher output may not be worth it. Some also have a low output at low rpm.
I fitted a 80A to my Ford and ended up having to fit a smaller pulley to get some decent output at idle.

Adequate wiring to high load devices, such as headlights, is the key.

[Adam]

So from that, I got that, stickers, air filter, tyres and a fan in my intake will make me go fast? Haha KEWL! only a few LEDs in the shift light though.... Dissapointing

The only other potential high load device would be the CD player.

It did have an amplifier and subwoofer in it, but I've removed the sub, and disconnected the amp.

Pushing the friendship here, but would you have a copy of a generic wiring diagram for a headlight upgrade? and what gauge of wiring would you suggest?

cheers

Lol

Poor guy did not look happy to receieve his car back in that condition. I'd be pissed off if someone ruined my Daewoo

Now I'm off to get me some JK Tyres

Suzuki Baleno.


I agree Shiv, not enough LEDs.

Yes needs more LEDs...mounted under the Lambo doors to blind the feck out whoever opens them up

Oh and its badged a Maruti isn't it. Nasty car whatever its called.

I'll try to draw something up this week.

If i forget, harass the sh1t outta me!

[Adam]

Jase, are you talking about relays with upgraded wiring so basically you have a dedicated and direct link to the battery from the lights?

If so I might also be able to dig up some info from the mini forum for you alex, because I'm sure they do the same type of mod?

[DukeNik'em]

If you punch someone like that you're going to break either your index finger, or the top part of your hand (OUCH!). I don't even know how you can pull your thumb in that far... do you have tiny chimp hands?

Pretty sure that fist was going to be used to punch vaag's, not skulls.

Real men use fly kicks to the head, not fists.

[skillionaire]

I don't think I'm willing to have a conversation about fisting a female with any of you.

Real men use fists, mate.

[DukeNik'em]

Real men use fists, mate.

What sort of pansy fighting is that, fly kicks and glassing is the gentlemen's way.

Or trolley bars.
