my new project

I think that same thing happened to Swifty a few years ago as well.

Indeed it did. This was supposedly an upgraded one made of stronger aluminum than the one that broke on Swifty. Jay now offers that bracket made out of steel.

I was able to take a look at the talon today to see why it wasn't charging. I was not looking forward to dealing with charging issues. Luckily it's just the alternator relocation bracket broke. So it's an easy fix. I was able to get a hold of jay from Jay racing and he said he can ship a new one out tomorrow. It was either another aluminum one free of charge or an upgraded steel one for $25. I went with the steel one to hopefully avoid this issue in the future.

Badass, glad to hear its something easy and not too expensive!

Yeah me too! It was a first for me and this car lol


Well I got the new alt bracket yesterday. Being steel It is definitely a lot heavier or a lot more stout. Hopefully I won't have any problems with this one for a long time. I put the car back together tonight. I just need to charge the battery and fire her up.

I'm waiting on a vband and clamp clamp for my exhaust. Hopefully it will be here early next week. As of right now it's setup to swap turbos and have the exhaust done next Saturday. I'm really just hoping things go smoothly and as planned over the next few weeks so I can finally have some fun with this bish.

Well finished up the car tonight. Charged up the battery and fired her up. Still wasn't charging. The alt fuse blew. Put a new fuse in and she's good to go charging at 14.3v :-).

Also got the stuff for the turbo swap and my exhaust today. I had to track it down at the brewing supply company next door cause FedEx doesn't know how to deliver to the right place. The turbo swap and exhaust will be done this Saturday. I'm excited to finally get the 6766 on the car!
