15% Pulley Installed

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Rhine West (San Antonio, TX) installed a 15% pulley for me a few days ago. The car is now much stronger throughout the power band. As you 15% pulley folks already know, this is an excellent cost effective upgrade. Considering the low failure rate of this modification, I would recommend anyone wanting cheap power, and/or improved drivability, to breakout the cash and indulge. [/size][/font]

I also have a 15% pulley. I have no regrets, this thing is awesome! I also had the alta intake installed at the same time. Let me warn you it is loud and it took a little getting used to, but I have learned to love it. The added power is huge, makes driving the car even more fun. No regrets. Wish I'd had it done sooner. One more warning, if you thought you drive too fast without the pulley, you just wait! I find myself going faster than I probably should, it accerlates much faster than it seems. I think I'm cruizing up to 60 but I'm really on my way past 80. No tickets yet, but it's only been about a month.

Yeah I love the Alta intake, ITs already on my car along with cat back exhaust. I jus got a ticket for speeding a month ago, sucks now cause im on probation for 6 months so i gotta watch my speed . But I agree the screaming that come's from the SC sounds better when your spanking a civic

15% pulley best $ to HP mod you can do. It gives the 4cyl V8 get up and go. Well worth it.

The "IK-" got cut off at the end of the line, 22's went to the beginning of the next line. Those are the colder heat range Desno spark plugs
