This rough figure is with the alt unplugged but the belt still on. I have not had the time to attempt to complete the switch yet: ripping-up the master bedroom carpet and jackhammering the front path!!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
