Strange Issues
#1
Ok I Finished the Big 3 and Added a Few Ground to the Engine

First off WOW The Car Feels GREAT, idle is Super smooth, Revs Faster, Feels better.

Issues:

Battery Volts is jumping a little. Sits at 14.7 too(Little high?), Lowest its drop was 13.8.

I have UDPs (FC 2 pc) Before the battery would drop to 12.7 well sitting.

Do you think the Computer needs to reset its self?

Any isvice would be great.

Well, the big 3 upgrade makes a big improvement in charging capacity and overall efficiency... from what I have been told. I've never done this personally.

So, I'd say it's quite possible you're gaining back some charging capacity even at idle.

nah..I'm pretty sure 14.7 is dandy. If there were a problem, it would be the regulator on the alternator, not the car's computer.

How do you like the Cool Blue bulbs? I have a set for mine and I think they are great. Brighter that the stocks but not as expensive as the Silverstars.

Just get the Xtravision, about the same but a few dollar cheaper.

I prefer malbys how-to :)

I cant do the big 3 anymore.. because the blower assembly is in the way, the most i can get away with is the big 2 (battery post and engine lifting eye)
THE FOCUS IS GONE! THE LEGEND IS DEAD!
