High-Level or RCA, alternator whine

Hello everyone,

I have a question. I have some alternator whine and I traced it back to being the RCA outputs of my aftermarket headunit. Now I don’t know what I should do. Buy a new headunit that would set me back quite some money, or connect the High level outputs of the headunit.

Also for my headunit RCA I only have left and right but would like to have front and rear to. The normal wires for the headunit do have those.

That would mean I can connect the output wires from my headunit to my JBL A704 high-level inputs.

Would this make the music quality worse? I tried grounding the headunit more but it didn’t work. When connecting a device straight into my amplifier there is no whine.

What Coilovers should I go with?

Hello everyone,

My NC has h&r lowering springs with the stock bilstein some NC came with. Tho I don’t really like the springs and I think my shocks are also almost done for by the bouncing I have when driving over big bumps.

My question was, what would be the best go to for spirited daily driving. I don’t plan on going to track. I have looked into the MeisterR lineup but I don’t know which suits me the best. I don’t plan on spending more then $1200.

Does anyone have a good option for comfortable but spirited driving for a NC, I already have Yellow dot swaybars.

Rebuilding rear suspension

Hello everyone,

I’m going to rebuild my suspension on my NC. I have found some good OEM arms and knuckles with only 10k miles on them.

While I’m at it I will wire brush the subframe and do some anti rust work on it. Tho I had a question. What else should I do while I’m doing all the work? Is there anything imported that could be done when all the arms are out. Do I need to replace anything while I’m at it?

I hope you guys can help me.

Thankyou!

PRHT Ticking Noise

Hello everyone. Since a few days I can hear a ticking noise coming from my PRHT motor when the roof is down. When operating the roof no weird sounds are made.

It usually happends when going over a bumpy road. Normal highway driving I can’t hear anything.

I hope someone knows what this could be and how I can fix it.

Orange dot rx8 swaybars?

Hello everyone,

I’ve read multiple post about upgrading to rx8 swaybars for my 2010 NC2. I can buy orange dot swaybars for 120 dollars front and rear.

I wonder if these are not to stiff for daily driving. I like sticking on the road and having less bodyroll but is this going to effect driving to much?

Should I buy them or pass on them? I need to replace the swaybar rubbers and end-links anyways so I thought good time to upgrade.

I daily drive mine.

Hello everyone, I need help asap. I just changed my leaking radiator after 7 hours of work. I thought I was done and ready to go home.

After around 500 feet of driving I could see the temp of NC go above the middle point where it would usually sit.

Also the coolant expansion tank stays cold. The heater also stays cold. Can someone help me please what do I do.

Thankyou for your help.

So my A/c is leaking. When I would turn the Ac on nothing happened and the compressor would’nt act in. Just whet to the shop to fill it, they called me and said it’s leaking. Fortunately I did not have to pay. I said I would first try and find the leak my self. Saving myself some money.

When searching forums it’s mostly the O-rings on the condensor lines that go bad. You guys think that’s the case with me? Should there be an O-ring here? Can i use universal ones? I can’t find the OEM parts in Europe except for 30 dollars a piece.

I also bought a new condensor and dryer.

Don’t mind the rust😅🙃
