In all seriousness, this thread today Intro, cautionary tale is the perfect example of why you need to take your car out to a nice, safe, large, flat, open area and thrash it around a bit where it can safely break without killing you.

Dan EC Dan if you are still looking for a heavyduty battery connector for the Alt, check the boating world. They have all different styles to fit on the back of the Alt. Complete covering of the stud and connector. Any Large marine store will have it. If you need one, we have Lockwood here and come mail you one. Problem solved. Side note, lie to the guys and tell them you drove the car before someone gets whinie.eek:: Rick L.

Dumb advice. Large parking lots or stadium parking lots are usually littered with all sorts of debris and crap. Literally, crap. And aren't normally paved well. You'll tear up your beautiful car.

I'd find a local track, see which club is renting it for a test & tune, or whatever, and use that for sorting your car out. There are plenty of events and clubs that do that around here, specifically Thunderhill, Laguna Seca, Infineon and the Marina Airport.

... and I don't think he'll learn much on a 1/4 mile dirt oval. Well, he might learn about insurance policy exclusions.
