Has anyone local to Louisville or close by completed a SC pulley swap? I know I can do it myself but it never hurts to have another set of eyes around that has done it to make things easier

 

Yes, I even have the tensioner belt tool, and the pulley removal tool!

 

So what would it take to get you to help me out? I could pay to borrow the tools or what ever works for you.

 

Sent you a PM.

 

Im also interested in the pulley installation!!!

 

Jason I can not say thank you enough man. Its takes a hell of a guy to come to a strangers house and help them with something of this magnitude. You have some good Karma my friend.

 

Mini owners are in a class of their own.

 

It was my pleasure, you have a good looking MINI! Now it's good looking and fast!

 

I'd be happy to help, just shoot me a PM.

 

looks like its time to buy my pulley too heh. i see you have officially caught the bug and started the modding tho. good to hear professor.

 

my car makes a weird noise sometimes when I first fire it up. Stein listened to it and said my tention belt was noisy? I think thats what they said but not 100%. If I catch up with cigarguy saturday I'll have him give it a listen.
You guys rock! Thanks for all the great info

 

theradiantmini --

Don't know which MINI you have, but if it's the current generation, the "dreaded cold start issue" seems to have afflicted many. Here are a couple of threads for you to determine whether this condition applies to your vehicle and, if so, for you to determine a possible course of action with Nick / Cincy MINI. Best of luck !!

I have a 2004 S

 

Belt tensioners do have a tendancy to make noise from time to time. It's not a major repair if that's what it is.

 

This sounds to me like having a pulley install party in the near future!

 

heck yea soon as i can afford one heh spent all my spare cash on the suspension pieces.

 

Club,
Has anyone heard of J Marshall?

My pulley, belt and spark plugs are not delivering any extra HP that I can feel.
(Do you think that the fact of them staying in a box under my bed have something to do with that?)

 

Sorry but Jason moved back to MI about a month ago. I dont care to help but I do not have the puller or the tensioner tool.

 

Ohh
Too bad my parts took so long to get home.
I think Alta will send those two tools, with a deposit, i think?

 

yes or Detroit Tuned. Way might have them as well.
