Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 219 Registered: Mar-07 | I have a little over $400 atm and im getting about $100 per week. I cant decide what order to buy some things in. This is what I need: new tires and rims (possibly just tires), new alternator, and a car alarm. Anyone got any suggestions on what order to buy these in? I really can't decide on this debate myself lol. |

Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 220 Registered: Mar-07 | Tires right now have about 60k miles on them. Also I want something different than hubcabs. The car has several engine modifications and underglow lights, and hubs just completely ruin the effect lol. And yes, I need an H/O alternator. The car alarm can come last since I'm only going to need it next year for school. I really do not have a big voltage drop. Only at night on idle with the volume up the voltage goes to 11.6 on bass lines. Can any1 reccomend me a alternator? I don't really know what size I need. I got an oldsmobile Alero 2000 |

Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 221 Registered: Mar-07 | Thanks M.S. Will 120amps at idle be able to hold my 2 amps? Im running a Hifonics BXI 1206D and a Profile 80wrms x 4 for the cab speakers. Also I thought a tires/rims combo would be cheaper than buying tires, then rims later. |
