The way out is through
Default

I picked up one from Pep Boys yesterday. I had to hook up a 0 gauge extension to reach the positive terminal.

It looks like I've got much more stable power, but I think my alternator isn't putting out enough juice to run all my headlights... I wonder if I damaged the alternator washing out my engine, or if the underdrive pulley is just too much... Perhaps I need to go back to the stock pulley... or try to find an overdrive alternator pulley to speed it back up... or perhaps get a high-power alternator and leave it underdriven.... ugh...

Oh, check out what was in the Pep-Boys parking lot: Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, totally tricked out... Actually it's a little over the top, but it's legit. I talked to the owner briefly, he got it sponsord for the body kit so he's got all kinds of prototype shit on there.
