    i removed all the the facotry wiring that i upgraded except the alternator one, i'll try to do that one tomorrow morning have to study for finals. by tied up i ment it the wires were in a plastic tubbing and within that they were taped together with electrical tape, it doesn't matter anymore since i removed them. um during the winter i had the battery checked at autozone and they said everything was fine, checked my alternator and other stuff as well. I'll upload some pictures i took this morning.

    I bought some terminal battery post cleaning kit cleaned the crap out of both posts and replaced a janky factory terminal, i took the car for a small ride to see how it was and its voltage on the DIC was 14.4-8, after about 10 minutes of driving it went down to 13.1-2...im afriad its going to do it again. ill post up the pictures i took in a second

    I had already sanded most of it off from the sides when i remembered to take pictures but you can see on the top of this picture there are black blotches, before i had sanded them down the entire post was that color, it actually looked like it was made out of the black plastic casing.

    Here it is from the side, you can tell the difference on the bottom of the post where i didn't sand it down very well.


    and this is just a top view of the negative post
