Found this item over on the JSC Speed website but it's not on the ALTA site and in doing a search, it hasn't been mentioned anywhere here on NAM - what's the deal? Seems like a relatively simple and inexpensive part, so if any gains can be reaped from it, I'd definitely be interested.

 

Whoops, we jumped the gun

They're not out yet -- but as the biggest Alta distributor in the US, we try to stay ahead of the game, and while it's listed on the site, our active stock system keeps everyone informed.

 

Ohhhhh, gotcha! I'm making a list of ALTA mods I wanna put on my MINI and they'll all be purchased through you guys. So when I saw the crank pulley I was like 'Ooo, what's that!?!'.

THANKS

 

Hopefully it's as much lighter than stock as the version for the R53. You lost a few pounds with that one.

 

I suppose its not underdriven so it couldn't hurt. As long as its balanced well i couldn't imagine it causing a problem.

 

BUMP!

What's the deal with this mod?

 

Deal is one of our favorite dealers listed the PT# (which does exist) before the part existed. NOTHING against that at all. WE still intend to release it after further testing, protoing etc. These are always controversial when they are first released, so we want to quell all of those concerns before they are brought up.

Sorry for the delay!

Thanks again!

 

If they are not available yet, you may want to consider removing them from your current Holiday Sale in the "Sweeten the Deal" section for $100-$150 found here:

I too am interested in this part and would like to hear more information about it's performance and specifications. I don't believe the "whats the deal with this mod?" question was in relation to it being posted early by a distributor, but rather about "where's any information on this product? does it work? weight? specs? anything?".

 

It was to what does it do? weight? specs? anything? question because I was gonna order it off the alta site because I saw it under the holiday special. Sorry for not clarifying the question.

Adam: Glad your back ! How's the kid?

 

That's exactly what I said!

 

Yep, being the original poster that's exactly what I was asking. Always looking to do a cheap mod with reasonable gains.

Still curious about it, but I guess we'll have to wait awhile. I have plenty other ALTA mods to do anyway (check my sig ) but unfortunately all are far over 139 bucks...

 

I just sent an e-mail over to the office. Someone just made a boo-boo on the labeling on the landing page. If you click on the product you can't choose the pulley for an R56. SHOULD be corrected shortly. Sorry for the confusion folks!

I am not "back" just working with my NAM buddies from home. My wifes recovery is taking FAR longer than she or I expected. BUT both baby and mom are doing great! He is a real joy to have this close to the holiday. thank you all for your support and for asking! I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it!

Chat soon!
