What a night!

[H22A1TLUDE]

i was out cruisin earlier tonight in my lude and my friend notices all of the lights on the dash getting dim. i looked at my speedomter and it was at zero! the car accelerated fine. i pulled over and turned off the car (i shouldn't of) and tryed to start it again hoping that my speedometer would start working. it wouldn't start! so me and my friend called someone to get the battery jumped. we jumped it and the car started!
i got all excited thinking that i would make it home. well, i accelerated for about an inch then the car died again! it turns out that my alternator was no good. i sat there all by myself cause my friends had to get home. my dad came and didn't want to call a tow truck cause my car was lowered 2.5 inches with a body kit and they would just tear it all up. my dad matched his front bumper with my rear and just pushed me home slowly. now my rear bumper's paint is all chipped off from my dad's license plate! me and my lude got home safely and now she is in the garage sleeping. now i have to get a new alternator amd repaint my rear bumper. oh well, shit happens right?!

just thought i'd post this so that if one of you guys experience this you'll have a bit of idea on what's wrong with your lude or any car.

That sucks man! Did you have underdrive pulleys or anything?

[H22A1TLUDE]

i've got aem pulley kit, header, intake and exhaust Ziggymidget5

[Ziggymidget5]

How long have you had the pulleys, cause I've had mine for around a month or so now with no problems. Also, how many miles on the car? Hopefully it's just a bad alternator, cause I don't want pulley problems.

are you running a lot of electronics? large systems, tv's, or power inverters? all that stuff can take it's toll on an alternator, slowly.

My alternator's fine!! Me and my dad popped the hood this morning and found that the alternator was unplugged!!!!! i went through all that shit last night for nothin and i just got finished priming the rear bumper of my lude!!! it doesn't look that bad but i'd rather have it painted. i was gonna put all my money into the engine but now i have to get a paint job!!

[Ziggymidget5]

Good, I'm glad you solved your problem. Not only for your sake, but also so I don't really have anything to worry about with mine anymore. (not trying to sound selfish ) Wonder how it got unplugged?

[H22A1TLUDE]

i was racing that night and hitting a lot of bumps and it might of came loose and popped off. other than that i have no clue.

haha, that shouldnt be happening, a paint job on a bumper isnt gonna be more than 150 bucks though, that shouldnt set your engine MODS back to much

[H22A1TLUDE]

Acura NSX silver is expensive.

[partyhardryan16]

more than 150$ for a bumper? thats outragious

[H22A1TLUDE]

to tell you the truth partyhardryan16, i don't how much it will cost. i just hope its not much.

[partyhardryan16]

i see, i bet your car looks hot though, its definitly worth getting it done if you spent that much on your car already

[crzyCollegeKid]

yea...paint jobs are expensive...very expensive. a body shop wanted to charge me $200 to repaint my front bumper

good thing i didn't do it tho...cuz two weeks later i was kissed by an explorer and ended up with a new bumper, hood, headlights, fender.
