Default I think my car doesn't like me...

I purchased a 1996 Civic EX with a b16a2 Swap. It came preety much stock except for some no name headers.

Anyways, about a week after I got it my right wheel bearing went out so I had to get that fixed. Then several days later I start having overheating problems, so I fix that and at the same time give some love to my car by adding a Skunk2 Megapower Exhaust and Skunk2 Pro Intake Manifold so I spend almost all day doing this.

Finally my car is driving good, no overheating problems everythings great and then Im driving home and my battery light comes on, about a block away from my house my radio and speedo stop working and my car won't start. So now I have to get this problem fixed.

Whats next? My engine going?

This is my first honda and so far im not to happy with it.

I will not give up... but this is starting to get really fusterating.

hondas can do that lol. bro **** happens, you have been lucky so far, batterys and alternators are cheep, and i got money on the fuse that protects the alt and vss is blown fix that, get the alt and battery tested replace if neccasry,and you speedo should come back.

the only thing you can really do is just take care or it and keep a eye on it.

Good news I looked and the alternator belt came tore and came off completely.

$17 dollars for a new belt and installed it myself. Friend gave me a jump start and battery light came off and car is back to normal!
