Well, I have absolutely ONE thing to say....DO NOT.. I Repeat DO NOT get Alfaotto products. For one they do not include any instructions whatsoever. Number two they will not fit over your fuel and temperature gauge cluster. Oh and thirdly if you happen to flip the toggle switch it will probably ...

I recently purchased some Alfaotto Silver faced gauges with blue or green lighting. If anyone has installed these before with the toggle switch please let me know.
Thanks

Well guys... I ended up buying a brand new 70 amp alternator ($180) and shoving that bad boy in there. Things are running great, and no more dimming.. so maybe its better off without the v6 alty. Thanks for all the advise

Heck I e-mailed them like ten times...just kidding. I really hope this goes through..I dont care what they cost I will get them, granted they are dyno tested and fitted for the DOHC 1.6L

Thanks guys for all the info...wish me luck Im going to try the V6 alternator with the old pully. If I had one more question it would be how did you mount the alternator with the machined holes on the other side???

Sounds like one of your front wheels are out of balance. Also if you have the factory rims make sure you tighten them a tad more than normal specs...they tend to loosen up a bit.

Swap pulleys from the V6??? If I swap the V6 alternator with the one I have...I should put the old pully on the new alt right?

Yup, I just changed my brakes and the fluid and it ended the flickering brake light. Also if you are gonna do the brake change and you have rear drums. Make sure and check the E-brake control arm. Its known to get stuck.... getting that moving again will help to stop the flickering over bumps ...

I am currently replacing my waterpump and I was hoping that a larger alternator from another engine could solve the Mx-3 1.6L DOHC wimpy electrical flow. By the time you have a decent sound system, just using the brakes will dull any lights. I am open for any ideas...
