Hi all,

I would like to post a brief review of my Alta 15% pulley on the track. first of all, i am happy with it after complaining few days when i just have my pulley installed. actually i am not sure if it's my 15" track wheel's difference or the ECU adopt my pulley, i feel hat my car is pulling a little bit harder and quicker compared to the first day when i pick up my car from the shop with my 17" -lite with the heavy runflats. the heat soak is not too bad at the track for a 20-25 minutes session(however, i tried to shift at around 6krpm to keep the heat down a little bit)

I am running some 205/50/15 Toyo RA-1. but everything else is stock except for the 15% pulley.


i think a video will worth a thousand words. check out this thread for video

Cool video man.

 

Thanks !!

hope you guys enjoy it !!

 

Were thoes stock WRXs or old school STIs?

 

If you are passing WRX's and hanging with an Evo VIII on a track and you only have a 15% pulley, that means you are a damn good driver! Great video man.

 

actually i passed 2 WRX, one shown on the clip and one doesn't , i don;t think any of them are sti

to be honest, i am not sure on their mod, one of them, it's pretty obvious that it has suspension, exhaust and wheels/tires which is not on the clip, the blue one the clip looks stock, and it has a stock exhaust, however, it doesn;t sounds too stock. but again i am not too sure. one thing i am sure is that, the stock mini handles better, i can brake later and turn in at a higher speed and most imporantly less Braking.. however, i was running some R-compound so that makes a bit differece on handling too.

 

To declare, i am running some 205/50/15 Toyo RA-1. but everything else is stock except for the 15% pulley.

and i am a newbie at track, this is only my 2nd time going track with my mini, and first time seeing this track. so i doubt i am a good driver, i am just a beginner still got a lot to learn.

 

Like I have stated in the other thread, it is good to see other mini owners hitting the track! One of these days, I plan to take the mini to the track. But first, I have to worry about other things until then!

thanks for the video, nice run, and it is not up to me to judge yours or other peoples driving skills..... Where is Onasled?

 

this kind of statement amazes me:
"If you are passing WRX's and hanging with an Evo VIII on a track and you only have a 15% pulley, that means you are a damn good driver! "

 

We all know WRX or EVO drivers never suck so it must be true.
Just ask 'em.

 

You need to take into account, the car, the driver and as well as the other drivers. You could pass a porsche on the track if the driver is horrible!
