sounds kinda like some of the fuses maybe wrong??? dont have any ideas as far as the alt goes. if you think the car is a money pit *sigh* id stop messing with it then.

sry to hear about the rod knock, but i disagree with your "supras sucks ballls" statement. as far as the alt, take it in and have it checked or replaced, if the voltage regulator is shot, then it can put out too much voltage and melt stuff..? just a thought. that or id take it to a different mechanic, it still could be a short somewhere thats making the alt work too hard? make sure you have the correct bulbs installed also..

sry for your grief, but hondas break down too,

ive seen bad altinators right out of the box, but it sure sounds like something is drawing too much power and making it work too hard. take it back to where you bought the alt, they should test it or replace it for free if its bad...bring your reciept..

your taillight blows because there is water leaking into the boot from around the bolts holding the spoiler down. the moisture + heat kills them. my reverse lights go, sometimes brake lights. or your tail light lenses. or your rear window ( i've reglued everything back there but the window )

check the amp ratings of the fuses in the fried box against the new one, make sure no one put bigger fuses in. what did the technician check ? just a short circuit would *tik* a fuse, not melt a fusebox.

describe your alt problem ? is it starting trouble you notice later, or does the alt light come on ? this is prolly cos of the fuse box problems. loose wire or something causing the voltage drop and resistance that melts a fusebox. start with small stuff like the plugs on the back of the alt, and clean and tighten the battery terminals.

do you live in south island of new zealand ? cos if you do i have a spare alt for my supra, a spare few wiring *everything* off another clapped out supra ... and if yours is for sale cheap ... mmm sleepy eyes ...

well..i dont have wing so i dont think thats the reason my bulbs blow out....umm...also the fuse/relay box in the engine bay melted on me once...replaced it and shit was fine...then now the alt goes...but its new...ummm...my passenger side back seat gets soaked all the time and stays wet but there arent any noticable leaks in the car at ALL...and juss now the fuckin heater motor fried out....and when i press the brake the lights go on in the dash.....when i first get into my car n start it the brake lights flicker when im not touching the brake.....idk...soo much shit happened just in one week...when i got the car it was perfect....i been a supra fan for years but all these problems are makin me switch tables here...

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed. Last edited by lethalwithasupra; 01-17-2006 at 07:41 AM.
