Thank you Mikey.... Imagine all of the angry rhetoric that would be spewing from the angry guy that moderates that other Fit forum if it was only the supercharged cars that were having drops in voltage.... We have a light covering of snow today and my wife has an afternoon medical appointment... She is chomping at the bit to drive her Forester in it.... There is snow and icy roads even on Galveston Island and roads are closed in Houston... I went to Louisiana 10 days ago to get a dog from Amanda's dad and he is going crazy in the snow.... At first he stood on the porch looking confused but he is really into now.

I think that might be a good match with your car and the black and red look real clean
Im going jmags babe. Gold with polished lip. I like to break up colors on rims, this is why I never liked the dr16s. Gold will match my bay scheme.

Also had buddy club p1s on her. Black with red lip. Looked ok, but still did not like. Test fit kosei k1s in teal. Loved the look, but offset was too low

Thanks, I have not been very organized and I have like 10 boxes of car parts in storage. the only box I had with brackets had brackets from my bros old Honda, My old Grand AM, My bros Vic and Cutlass, so needless to say I was a little frustrated. The good news is I dont sell any thing so I still had my SRI to put back on

Don't sell anything, I'll get rich If I ever sell off all of the old British and German motorcycle parts I have laying around...... I think you would be better off to see what KraftWerks has to say about your situation, than chunking it all and getting involved in an engine, transmission, axle exhaust and intake etc. swap.

Tex I deffintly will see if I can find out what has happend to the SC but as far as doing the swap I have already made up my mind, it's going to happen.

As for the volt discussion I have been watching my volts the past couple days and it has been at a prett solid 14.2-14.5. Right when I start the car I saw it at 13.5 but that was only for a sec or two then it went right to 14.3. If you are seeing the volts drop the you may have a potential problem some where.
