Three cheers for Rennsport Systems
I just wanted to vocalize my praise of Steve and Rennsport Systems. Some of you know my alternator failed Sunday evening coming back from a weekend at the track. Monday morning I called Steve W. and he had a remanufactured alternator drop shipped to me overnight. The new alternator showed up this afternoon and will go in the car this evening. I’ve owned three 911’s in over 8 years. I’ve done business with all sorts in those 8 years and I can say, without question, I have never had a better experience. I am under pressure to get the car back on the road before Thursday when I am expecting to leave for Boise, ID. Talk about a good way to build a customer base –wow. Steve had the alternator on my door in approximately 30 hours. Guys, he took care of me. It’s just so nice to have someone just ‘come through’ when you really need it. I had to share.
Steve, I owe you big.

yep, that happened a couple weeks ago to me as well, fortunately she got me within 10 miles from home. Flat bed. Charged the batt. OK, pulled the alternator and found the brushes worn, replaced brushes, contact rings and bearings. Oh had to paint the fan & housing and slide (slippy) into a RS pulley hub. whoops!

Yup, Kudos to Steve! More than just "helpful" (which he is in spades), he is generous with his knowlege and shares his time and expertise.
David,
I got about 92K or so miles before mine gave up.

Same story here. When I ordered my suspension system it was here pronto. Steve answered all my phone calls and I never had the sensation of being rushed or bothersome. The guy is great!

Not much to add about Mr. Weiner. Steve's terrific and he's an invaluable supporter & member of these forums.

i would like to join the chorus..... never actually bought anything (yet!!) from steve, but he has always been more than helpful and supportive of any questions ive had. I wish he was closer to nyc.
btw, how do i know when my alternator will go bad? anyway to be preventive on this so im not stuck on a roadtrip and have to call for help?

Hi Rob:
Thank you for your kind words; I'm at your service, anytime.
The only real way to monitor alternator/voltage regulator performance is by using a voltmeter which is something that very few manufacturers use in their cars.
I'd be inclined to install a separate, stand-alone VDO voltmeter so you will be able to monitor system voltages and see if anything is awry.
