I must say, that is a very nicely machined piece of metal. If i were in the market for a supercharger pulley then yours would be towards the top.

Your shipping is murder though.

Nice write up... That was a helluva way to remove the factory pulley! I want to do this mod, and I hope I don't run into those kinds of road blocks.

Morder for me now is the difference between euro and USD.

See if you can get a few people to do a group buy, and ship all at once. For the three of us, we only paid $67 each, shipped! that's half the cost of any other pulley on the market, not shipped.

It was awsome!!! I have do almost 10.000 miles there. OK It wasn't MINI. Most of the car was toyota. I hate this automatic transmision and yours speed limits with fulll of cops.

But the country it's just grate. I am very happy to see this. I have try yours fastest thrill on the world in New Jersey. Awsome! The people are much nicer then here. It is a big piece of the world and I have all days full plan what to see. It was hard but beautiful too. And in Vegas and around there it is very hot. I have 119°F in death valley. That's hard. There even a water to air intercooler won't doing a good job.

But like I said same roads are to straight for me. Yesterday I have go for 20 hours in Italian Alps to do a little corners with my manual transmision MINI. And there was so many cornes I have the blisters on my hand of handbraking and cornering. You must come and try those roads.

But back to pulleys. I am satisfied you are happy with them. Actually I do not heard any bad word about them. No reclamations at all. I have drive yesterday about 550 miles hard but cca 150 miles of them was very hard (most of on the redline) but even a 19% was work without any problems. And I wasn't alone there with that pulley.

OK, you know If you need anything just ask.

Hy,

i can prove the perfect quality of the KMT pulleys. I know KMT and 12 other Cooper S drivers with KMT pulleys myself and everything works great.

If you will feel beter to buy the pulley from a better known country like Slovenia is you can do it here: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MESE:IT&ih=002

Pulleys sold out of Austria

Group buy is also possible and payment over paypal, too. Just let me know

regards,
Big

Look the last top gear. Here are these cars and my car in Davos (on of the best road there in Switzerland beside Stelvia in Italy. )


I was go through Davos to MINI UNITED 2007 in Zandvoort. It was great. 4 days long road trip to there and many many nice roads.

Here is few pic from the week:

Yeah I saw that top gear. I watch every episode as soon as they come out on the internet. That was one of the best episodes I think. Especially the tunnel blast.

Question for Alta: if someone actually called up and wanted to order that pulley for $20,000, would you oblige?
