Well, looks like one picture is all I get to upload. It's great living in cellular hell. Verizon rocks, lol. Took it for a drive after some timing adjustments last night, and magically lost all my gauges. Clock started working! But every other gauge apart from the speedo is now dead. Yaaaaaayyyy

Sooooooo. Anyone here good with electrical systems? Car isn't charging. I had just assumed when I got it that it needed a battery, but, after swapping batteries with my truck, I've come to the conclusion it simply isn't charging. Wiring/electronics are my biggest failing, so I'm needing some help. I've some a little checking, have battery voltage at the sense wire, and the bat+ wire, but 0 volts at the field/lamp wire. Alternator looks brand new, so I think it's safe to rule it out as the problem

Having a little trouble with pictures, but I built this neat little....big...spoiler the other day. I'll eventually make some billet hinges for it, and some not-cheap adjusting rods, but I dig the look of it. Before you say anything keep in mind that a) it isn't finished. B) I know it's way too big to be practical in the production of downforce vs drag. C) I like it, so I'm not really bothered by anyone's negatime opinion, so don't bother with one. But. If anyone has any legitimate insight into the effectiveness of said part, I would love to hear some. I've buzzed over the wind tunnel analysis thread a few times, but I've only read about bre style spoilers. Haven't seen any articles on smaller adjustable/fabricated spoilers, but I haven't looked particularly hard either. If it will look cool and kill some rear end lift I can live with a little drag. Once the car is built I'll be primarily using it as a daily/mountain basher, so I doubt a little drag will bother a 650+whp 2800lb car at slightly higher than highway speeds. Bottom line, I like it. But hey, if somebody wants a smaller one, or one with a different shape, or standoffs for a big wang, hit me up. I drew and cut this one by hand, but can easily draw things on bobcad and waterjet or plasma cut them.
