Okay... The two smaller wires coming from the back of the altenator is Battery sensing and light circuit. The light in the dash is used to excite the diodes in your alternator and if it flickered for a while and then cut out, i'd say u have a blown diode or 2. But seeing as tho u replaced it, it may...

I'm definately wanting an ej, but its the fact of being a first year apprentice and saving up enough cash and that i'll need a car for work everyday while the conversion is in full swing. :( I'm a autoelectrican so the wiring side shouldn't be too bad and as for the tacho dash from memory, the wires...

I'm sure someone has explained how it attach it to the car on the forum sumwhere b...

"Doesn't seem to be underpowered as such, but definitely lacking. Never driven another L series so can't really say whether its normal or not. It seems to have a very odd power curve and feels very underpowered in certain spots in the rev range."

lol EA82 POWER! :)

In Addition to that, you can 'secretly' get rid of it into atmosphere while noones looking but if not, just do wat AlpineRaven said and take it to a qualified aircon bloke, they have to have the recovery unit to do it so most general mechanics don't have it unless they specify that they do aircons a...

its not just R12 and R134A that are illegal to vent. Most refridgerants have some legal issues attached to them these days. LPG is the only one that you can vent but alot of people don't believe in putting it in their cars for fear they might explode :D..... works reeeally good tho.

cheers guys, umm that type of flare has a tag on the bottom of the rubber to when you place it against the car, the tag sits just under the lip of the guard. Then you just screw it on with as many screws as you need. It seems to hold pretty well tho. :)
