My damn alternator took a crap on my today in my AE. I was getting gas, and then the car wouldn't even turn over. So I ended up getting a jump start and headed home. Then I was a block from my apartment, and the car died at a red light (right as the light went green). So I pushed the car into a gas station, Walked home and got the vert. When I got back there Sidewinderx7 was there with his 91 TII. I couldn't get the car to run by jumping it, so I took the battery out of the vert, and put it in the AE. The car started right up.

 

If you're interested in a better than stock alternator you can use a Powermaster GM alternator.

 

Have it chromed out! like mine actually its gold and shiny aluminum.

 

i just got mine rebuilt.....now the damn thing looks nicer than the rest of the engine bay......gonna have to clean everything and make it shiny

 

atleast the alternator is easy to change

 

It's a pain to do the belt when you have an air pump, A/C, and P/S.

It isn't that bad, just a pain because you got to pull the other belts off. And my car doesn't have that much room. <_<

I know it's not too bad, but I'm used to having 2 alternator belts and nothing else.

 

i luv the alternator in my 7.

in my old prelude (RIP) you had to remove the axel to change the alternator. now if that wasn't a bitch i dont know what is

 

Me too! The alternator is the cleanest thing under the hood.



Today I spent some time cleaning up under the hood, no pics though.
