Tightened that belt on that alternator and it did NOTHING!! Nothing!!! So its still shaking and slightly dims at any sign of extra use of electricity. So I decided WTF and just put my nice 850CCA battery in the car from interstate. Thing is its a side post so I was like great, I need to figure something out so... I put the battery in the back and take the front one out. I ran a 0 gauge power cable to the back and just thinking a ground would work for the car... I WAS WRONG. So I was trying everything I could to get it to work. I am guessing the negative cable just runs to the car when the alternator is on so.. This is what I did because I kept killing the battery: I used the front battery for a jumper battery so when I went to jump it for like teh 5th time of trial and error I FOUND OUT I hooked up the thing wrong some how and it SUPER CHARGED the car. So everything went really bright. At first I thought holy crap I got some extra juice. I went to start car, and car started RIGHT up like instantly the crank went fast as hell. everythign super bright I was so happy I didn't turn anything on but the headlights because when I did that THEY BLEW and then I turned brights oin just to be a dumbass and they popped so loud...! SO I put the front battery back in and left the rear battery in as well and just had it stayed connected I think it will do nothing as the neg is still hooked to the chassis lol I really don't want to run two cables to the back of car.. but is that only choice I have? I think alternator is still good and everything its just the headlights are broked and I got fogs for now as I am broke for a while lol. This freaking sucks I thought I was a smart guy and made a super powered battery...
What I think I did though is I hooked the jumpers up to the battery then it was still having trouble starting so I used another set and I PUT them on backwards... lol my spare is okay tho nothing even happend to it both run fine just headlights on my 92 integra GS 4dr=(
