1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My 99 was running at that around idle with what appeared to be the OEM ~60 amp alternator. Then I put a Suzuki Vitara 105 amp on and it idles at 14.3.

My 04 has an OEM 80 amp and ran at 13.6ish at idle if I remember correctly. But now it runs around 14.3 at idle because I installed an HKB alternator voltage booster for my AGM battery.

 

My ex-roommates did the same thing. Didn't even say a word, just showed up one day with a puppy.
Then they got mad when I moved its shit in the bathroom doorway to a paper towel in front of their bedroom door.

 

It really depends on where you're probing. If it's at the battery terminals, you're technically getting the battery voltage, not the alternator (assuming the alternator is higher). You'll have a Vdrop between the alternator and the battery, and it'll be a higher drop the more amps you're pulling - both using and charging with (but even at 80 amps this is less than 0.1V). Note that alternator output can take until about 2000-2500RPM to get to 80% output. RAV4 could also have a more aggressive Vout profile and better regulator, meaning more volts at idle.

 

My eldest brother got an atari 7800, I remember watching pitfall. I never got to play though cause the middle brother got mad at the eldest and cut ALL the cords lol, my parents were pissed and by the time they decided to buy power cords the sega Saturn was out and atari was long gone as a platform.


I enjoyed "playing" all the games they had by staring at the cartridge art and making up stories with my imagination
My favorite was xenaphobe, no other space marine game has compared to my version of that box art

 

I’ve got one!

 

You got a Commodore 64? That was my 1st computer. Had 1 game star post. If we wanted more then we had to wright lines of code. Never got to far with that.

 

So it’s one of those “not enough batteries “ kind of days

 

I love my Milwaukee sawzall. When I need to shake paint cans when I do bodywork, I duct tape the can to a dull sawzall blade and zip tie the trigger with the sawzall clamped to my workbench. Works great.

 

@Speedytech7 has one, I only have old ass Apple computers otherwise.

My oldest one would be the Apple II+, which would be the third computer Apple ever made in 1978.

 

they’re such beasts. I can dull a blade in no time

 

The weather here has been fucking drunk lately. Was supposed to be 95 and sunny all day, was up until about 4pm then it dropped hard and we've had crazy thunder and lighting like I haven't seen since I lived in Texas as a kid. Completely not forecasted this AM. I love it

 

@0xDEADBEEF

 

Hmmm

 

the hell?

 

The hell what.

 

Are you having a kid?

 

Lol na. Going to have a niece.


I’ll wait another 4 years before kids are happening

 

She’s a sweetheart.

 

I guess the best part of school in the morning is, I have the rest of the day to do w.e. I want
