Drove in to work on the back twisty roads so I could check out the grip of the new shoes. She was pulling hard in the +/- 35 degree morning air and took many curves & corners with not a slip of any kind in traction. Walked into the shop from the parking lot with a grin on my face..
Glad to hear a chorus of "Hell No we won't go!" from other MSP owners.

only reason i wont go is because i wont get anything nearly as quick for what i payed for mine... but then again mine came built (yippy) i just had to swap some parts.
I honestly think that if the oil starvation was not an issue, my set up would have put down the numbers it did for quite a while. I killed her by switching to r-comps for auto-x, and the street, lol.
Oh well, better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all, right?

Does anyone know where I can get a new set of pullys that aren't to expensive ? My belts are squealing really loud and they are fearly new and don't need them to snap off again ...
fix your belts? if they didn't squeal before you changed them, it's not your pulleys.

It's manly the alternator belt that does it , I thought it was the belts so I replaced them both and they still were squealing and getting that burning smell ,... Then the alternator belt snapped off and replaced that again and is still doing it ... It's manly when it's wet out and will do it for the first 5 min of running , on wet days it will do it on an off as I'm driving... So that's why I was thinking it might be the actual pullys ...

If it was the pulleys it would do it all day, errday.
If a pulley goes bad it usually snaps off or is bent in a accident. They just don't go bad. Check the alignment with the belt while the car is running, but if it is just doing it when it is started or wet it probably is either a cheep belt, pulley is out of alignment somehow?, or most likely too much or too little tension.

So my best bet is to get some new belts , the ones on there are just from autozone so they are prob crap ... Any suggestion on decent belts ?
