The very best place to buy a very high quality 95A alternator is MANIAC ELECTRIC MOTORS

$149.00 outright and $89.00 after you return your old core for a $60.00 credit.

Shipping of your old core back to Maniac is pre-paid by the company; they will email you a pre-paid shipping label.

Comes with a hassle-free 2 year warranty.

If ordering online or by phone, enter or mention coupon code 4747 and get free ground shipping.

They also have high-output 160A alternators. Click HERE

I'd definitely go with Maniac. I literally just had my alternator redone by them this week. I dropped it off (I live nearby) on Saturday morning and ended up talking to Christian about SVX's and subarus for about 2 hours. Good people there. I got my alternator back on Wednesday (they shipped it back so i wouldn't have to drive down again).

I went with the High Output option and it came to right at $200 with tax.

Christian really knows her stuff. I have never asked her a question she could not answer. (and I ask her a lot)

Besides the aluminum-ceramic coated high-output unit on my polo, I have two more 160A units in reserve. All have lifetime warranties.

The best company out there at what they do...


svxcess knows.

Ray,

In your conversation with Christian, did she mention that I helped her redesign her website and designed their new logo?

Re: Alternator
 

I have been very pleased with a number of Maniac Motors SVX and Legacy alternators that I have purchased.
They come back working perfectly, and look like new.
As I need them I will buy more from Christian!

Re: Alternator
 

She did mention that actually. One thing is for certain, she is a big fan of yours! She also went on and on about how much help you've been to them. I told her you helped quite a few of us on the club and since you recommended them, a lot of us have come to them. She even had the pictures of the SVX engine and the wiring upgrade printed out and taped to the wall in front of her desk lol. It was a good discussion.

Their site does look pretty good now. Was it pretty bad before you helped revamp it?
