Default voltage regulator

Im getting a new bosch voltage regulator for my alternator, hopefully that would stop that awry condition that happened to my car before. yay!
-Is there a way that i could convert my FWD into an all wheel drive?

Default Anything is possible

Lots of cutting, measuring, fabricating will need to be done in order to go from a fwd car to quattro. More work than its worth, IMHO, unless you own a mint.
4kq's are dirt cheap, would be better to just snag one

What was your alternator doing?

Default alot

My voltage regulator was im presuming frying my positive terminals. It makes sense, cause thats what a regulator is suppose to do, regulate the current flow to the battery. Plus i had my moms friend come over, hes a car freak. He told me that was it. Plus i went to NAPA and got a test done, and carquest, and autozone. Lol. My car was freaking out on me, doing weird stuff such as dying in the middle of the road. Hahaha. Fun times.
