Wow, been a while since I've updated....
After getting it all running and such, it turns out the battery wasn't charging. I assumed the alternator had went bad, all the symptoms were there. So I purchased an alternator from a buddy and swapped it in (that was fun...I had to pull the radiator to do it because of that hugely long bolt on the bottom pivot point)
Anywhos it didn't solve the problem. I was still getting 11.5V-ish at the battery at idle. I was like, 'WTF mate??'
Then i thought back to my old starter problems, and that wire I disconnected to keep it from running all the time. Then i decided to ohm out the alternator to the battery to figure out which wire actually ran between the 2 units. All of them came back as open circuits, wtf? But..... That wire I disconnected from the starter: 0 ohms. Again, wtf? Oh wait a second... Maybe the wire I disconnected should be on the same terminal as the power supply to the starter? Could it be, 2 huge fat wires on 1 terminal?
Yup. I replaced my starter and alternator for nothing, for a mixed up wire. FML.
But it runs great!! Woohoo! And I got the S3.73 switched out for a S3.25. I also disconnected the rear sway bar. Car handles like a dream :) Next up is batter relocate and a good polish.Comment

I hate that wire bull shit. I had a loose ground wire. Car ran low on volts and kill everything thing electrical in the car. that was 1000$ worth of sensors pumps and parts.
for a 12$ ground strap FML :(. It killed my alt to lol

Glad to see that the motor has successfully descended into its third smaller chassis.
