ya it is definately the alternator, as i said b4, took one of my dads truck batteries and used it for the drive home, it was 100% when it went in my car, and with the car at idle for 5 minutes it already was making battery light come on. I couldnt let it idle while driving for more then a few minutes without revving the crap outta it the whole way back. as you can guess, crossing the border was hard.... had to basically bounce my foot on the throttle for 20 minutes while in line...
good thing i only needed one gas top in the whole 650 ish km finishing leg.
on a good note, some local wreckers have alternators for around 70-90$ depending on wreckers so ill let the car sit for a bit, sell some more parts, wait for FSW stage 2 and then i will do everything at once. with header off im guessing alternator will be slightly easier to tackle.
