Those purchasers who's pulleys were received have all been notified via email that they got in under the wire.

The Group Purchase is now closed for any/all that have not paid or I have not received a pulley from.

Pulleys will become available again as soon as there's sufficent quantity for me to do another production run but the option of me doing "customer-provided" pulleys is over until/if another GP is offered.

The below 2 options will become available again as exchange units are returned and I've had a chance to machine them. Prices will be $10 higher than GP pricing across-the-board and are reflected in the 2 options below.

1. I sell you an exchange unit: $75.00 + $100 deposit refundable upon return receipt of your "alloy" NOT STEEL pulley.

2. I sell you a lightweight alloy pulley outright: $120 no exchange or deposit required LIMITED AVAILABILITY!!

All prices include USPS Priority Mail shipping w/Delivery Confirmation to continental US and 1st Class Canadian postage. Add $17.00 for Global Express Mail to Canada.

this is one of those "ya can't feel it but ya know it's helping" kinda things rather than any kind of serious power producer. Remember it takes 10-12HP to feel virtually ANY HP increase on these cars. And there isn't a power steering pulley in the world that'll give ya that kinda increase.

The car will certainly rev faster and fall off RPMs faster between gears due to reduced mass and flywheel affect compared with it's unmodified counter-part or the steel pully. But I dunno that it will be a feelable or perceptable reduction. But sometimes just knowing it's there and doing its job is enough. But now add a LW harmonic damper and a billet alternator pulley and it starts to become a significantly feelable series of modifications. It's simply one more step in the journey.

Only took about 3 mins, but I already had the tools out ;]

Definately not something you feel in the seat of your pants, but there is a bit of a different feel. One thing that's DEFINITELY noticable is the weight difference...the steel pulley feels like a brick compared to the LW alum version!

I'll snap some pics soon...

One for the pulley bolts, one for te tensioner. I don't know the sizes off the top of my head.

So its good timing to do this pulley and change the belt at the same time.

But wait, couldn't he still get a mis-matched new belt & tensioner?

6mm for pulley 10mm for tensioner or 17mm nut for older style, and yes i have other things that need to be finished before i dig into this whole tensioner mess, im sizing up spacers for my new wheels, paint for my new bumper and money for springs to be installed, but a new tensioner is only $60 bucks.

10 minutes including getting and putting away tools.
