So what was that about Ckucky’s kitchen sink? Well, I picked it up from him early this week, and darned if it looks like the size is almost perfect! To give you an idea of just what I’m trying to do, here are some pics:
The black plastic thing is the original engine splash cover that we are trying to replicate, sitting on top of the kitchen sink. Looks promising!
Oh, and welcome to Root’s garage of dead alternators. The bizzarre demon possessed behaviour of the rally FX was due to to a bad alternator. Something inside seemed to have shorted the weeks ago I first wondered about when I smelt burning electrical and saw smoke coming from the alternator area. It was just before our snowboard trip so after making sure it wasn’t about to catch fire, I forgot about it until now. I finally took a closer look at it, first off the battery was deader than dead, only about 3V. I went to my spare parts pile, looks like I’m down to my last alternator, the other two I know are bad. I swapped out alternator, swapped out to a good battery, and lo and behold, the car runs fine. We shall see if it I get this all together in time for the next rally, and if it’ll hold up!
