This week is the big week! I'm installing my 15% reduction pulley that I purchased from Minimania.com. Also I rented the Puley removal tool from Alta.
Any tips will be appreciated.

Also while I Have the car apart anything I should Change while im there?

Thanks!

 

Belt, tensioner, plugs...check damper pulley..they go bad...check motor mount..

 

Thanks for the reply!!

Last week I did the plugs and Installed the MSD ignition coil upgrade along with the 8mm ignition wires.
I'm thinking today I should order the motor mounts and when I get everything apart see what things are looking like as far as wear and tear.

Its a 2006 with 50k miles on it... but I do drive it Hard

Thanks again!!!

 

I alos have an '06 with apporx. 50k miles on it. just did the MSD coil and wires this past weekend. gonna have my pulley done as soon as I can schedule it. there is a shop here in CT that will do it for around $90! for that price it's worth having an expert do it. I'll do the intake myself and then I just need to decide on an exhaust.

 

idk what the going rate is but 90 bucks seems very cheap considering the amount of work that needs to be done... be careful make sure he is that expert!!

keep me posted!

just ordered the BUSH LOWER MOTOR MOUNT UPGRADE
From minimania

 

they have def done it before and seem to think it will only take 1 hour which is why the $90. even if it's twice that amount still worth it. I'll keep you posted.

 

Make sure the bushings on the tensioner are in good shape, and change the belt don't use the stock size one.
For the motor mounts the lower and gearbox last pretty good, but the one on the pass frame rail wears out all the time.

Hope that helps

 

Thanks for all the post!!!! My father and I did the Install today. although it took 4 hours it wasn't as hard and complicated as i thought...

The car is noticeably faster..... and I'm loving the whine !!!!!!!!!!!
