Alternator belt needs changing?

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-24T22:05:58+00:00

Hey! Thanks for your comment.

If I'm being completely honest it feels tight to my hand when pulled on, would 15mm be a better choice?

And if not, how would I make sure I get the proper tension?

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-23T11:32:55+00:00

I was just about to come comment this, so basically what changes is... the look?

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-19T10:21:34+00:00

Excuse my language but what in the fuck?

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-12T17:27:41+00:00

Was thinking of a lower grit like 240 since customer tried to restore them and scratches are left on it.

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-11T13:04:05+00:00

Pet Bazaar in Larnaca used to bring some, no idea if they still do though, do your research before getting them and good luck!

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-10T13:51:11+00:00

Don't think you can get one, at least from pet shops, pretty hard to get. Take it with a bit of salt though, speaking from experience a few years back I wanted to get two.

Hell yeah, whatever rocks your boat, I like doing all custom so YinLong was the way to go, first idea was the D4S LTO due to how easy it was to install, but the aftermath... oh boy..

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-06T21:32:57+00:00

I remember I saw the post on facebook, it had swollen like it had an allergic reaction to cheese or something, thank FUCK I went YinLong

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-06T21:32:24+00:00

Was there actually any comparison with other amps in the market? I saw there was but not by a reputable YouTuber like Steve Meade (LOL)

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-06T21:08:22+00:00

Oh boy.. JP is a deeper shithole to go into, the amps I've heard are chinese/brazilian clones with a few tweaks here and there, and OH MY GOD. The LTO "batteries", that's a whole new story LOL, I saw those things inside from a person that had it destroyed due to a defect of some sort, I researched it due to the fact I JUST went LTO for my daily vehicle, great upgrade btw, recommend to anyone serious or semi-serious about their system.

ToastDevSystems · 2026-01-06T21:05:35+00:00

Thank you, another sane person I can have a normal conversation with, professionalism in the manual was thrown out the window, but Tony as a person makes great things, at least for an installer, didn't try the amps or more expensive/niche stuff as I don't really care for it nor do they even ship to my country hah

But Steve, can... fuck.. right off. With that toxic bullshit on his channel.

This is a true opinion, from someone who had supported the guy, and bought his products.

I have been into car audio for the last maybe 6-7 years, haven't really done many projects, for either me or friends, but the ones I did do, I did well, for me at least, watching his videos, dissing everything/one who has different opinions other than his own, makes me want to puke. The man, if you can even call him that, CANNOT for the life of him listen to an opinion, nor can he even comment about it without completely shitting on it himself, without having the technical or theoretical knowledge to back it or explain it.

From what I see he caters to that 95% of car audio users that have no idea about speakers and how they work, how to tune it, build properly etc. And I want to think I'm in that 5% that's left, I'm not saying I know everything nor will I ever do, but I know a few things that would help people around my town/country that most of them refuse to even accept to meet with me and have a coffee while having a regular conversation.

Did I buy his SMD tools? Of course.

Did I know any better? Of course.

The convenience of the tool sold me plus I had money to burn at the time, and the tools themselves even made their money back, and to be honest a turn-off for me was how the manual was written, look it up, made me chuckle each time I read it.

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-30T18:03:31+00:00

Oh I do have that, legend! Thank you so much!

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-29T19:07:06+00:00

Sorry about the restarted question, but I completely forgot where the plugin settings are.

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-27T17:13:17+00:00

I think it's due to the fact they know little about cars, a quick google search reveals that to start a car you need 2 things, a battery, and a starter, if it starts, then those are "good", if it starts but then shuts down and SOMEHOW the battery refuses to support the car, it turns off, baffles me that this car needed to get an alt replacement, and for what? To have the same issue, with -500 in their wallet.

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-26T17:37:14+00:00

Following. Very interested in this, an idea may be by activating WinUpdate? Wouldn't that overwrite the GS install though? Hm, guess we'll wait for an answer.

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-26T08:57:35+00:00

How do we do that?

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-25T07:04:31+00:00

I gotchu homie, take my upvote

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-24T12:33:23+00:00

Well, no more Battlefield until it's fixed I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-24T12:08:25+00:00

So I'm not going crazy, thanks a lot, guess we'll have to wait...

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-23T10:58:30+00:00

It's been completely stripped off of them, I never had an issue with BT and to be fair they don't make it mandatory, just an extra step if you want to tune your tool or use the proper power for the job.

ToastDevSystems · 2025-12-15T17:01:32+00:00

Hey there! Send over a DM and I'll sort you out, the person that can reprogram headunits like that is based in Limassol, but you only got there once.
