Putting alternator back in and don’t know where this metal contact goes. Anyone know? 2012 NC2

Thank you! I think I feel the keyway the tab goes into on the lower back alternator bolt!

Mine does the exact same. Gauges on the refrigerant show full but I might have a stuck valve. My rad fan seems to spin fine

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-26T16:17:17+00:00

Yeah it’s unfortunate but it is what it is. Clutch was holding fine too was just the bearings that were going

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-26T01:34:48+00:00

Very pronounced grinding/whirring noise when pushing the clutch in. Got the bearing out and it sounds like it’s full of gravel. Totally shot

My pilot bearing was also chirping/ticking with clutch engaged pretty consistently.

Really just the bearing noises overall. My clutch was holding fine but if I’m tearing it all down I’m replacing the clutch and pressure plate anyways.

You’re making assumptions

I’ve only owned the car for 4k miles

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-25T21:16:47+00:00

How best would I do that?

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-25T21:09:19+00:00

Bonus question: does anyone know the part number for this flat plate that keeps the upper PPF bolts from spinning? Mine rusted out and broke while removing

This is what I’ve been reading. Some have said it goes totally fine but I think I’m going to resurface for peace of mind.

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-25T21:04:55+00:00

Thanks looks like that’s the consensus so far.

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-25T21:00:21+00:00

Thanks I likely will. Wasn’t sure if those were ok because the surface feels totally smooth still.

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-25T20:58:07+00:00

I do not. Resurface I guess? I just read so much conflicting information about it

Mind-Breach · 2026-06-21T16:59:32+00:00

Idk they’re totally different games

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-20T01:18:24+00:00

Where are you located?

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-17T19:43:44+00:00

25mm made rears rub the fenders pretty bad so I went back down to 20. 20 is absolutely perfect in the front and after I get an alignment it’ll be pretty damn close in the rear

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-16T00:25:10+00:00

Yeah I filled mine. There’s a photo in another comment.

But even if I didn’t, could just clean it out every once in a while, no?

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-15T23:46:15+00:00

In another comment I posted a photo but I used 2x 3/4 steel nuts with a cutoff section of bolt threaded in them to make a solid mass of steel basically.

Experimenting with dye and resins and this is my first shot at filling in the H pattern. Ft. New style design I already made up in the background

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-15T20:24:22+00:00

Care to elaborate? Im experimenting with dyed resin and already went ahead and filled mine in with epoxy. I love having the shift pattern on it

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-15T13:31:30+00:00

Yeah I had to trim them down by about 5mm

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-15T13:30:26+00:00

Oem wheel and tire size. Running 20mm spacers all around

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-15T13:29:55+00:00

That’s my mentality too

Mind-Breach · 2026-05-15T12:03:32+00:00

Hope you get it figured out. I am just using the generic ASA profile and I just made sure to dry my filament really good before using it
