After reading some threads on crank pulley's I thought what the heck, why not. The install was quick and I'm happy with the results. The car pulls faster to redline and max boost is very easy to hit. This mod works really well with my Detroit ByPass Valve. It was installed at Steve's Auto Clinic in Northridge.

Stop burning ur money and put a Turbo on that thing already! LOL

 

I know, but it is so easy to buy $200 parts. Can you PM your number I would to talk about the Alta turbo.
Thanks.

 

Mario you're out of control!

Oh and when did you you pick up an extra 10 whp??

 

Mario, you did all the mod while most people would take years. But really, listen to Tricklex

 

look at my new post. the car is parked at my work broken.

 

I'm so jealous of you Mario I love your setup....I agree with Trickle X and Eastsidemini, save up for a while and go TC or TURBO!

 

I had a new local dyno, I'm hoping for 225whp soon.

 

Mario,

What do you mean your car is broken?

You already did the crank pulley too?

I have been thinking about that, but a little scared. No vibrations? No rough idle? Is it really noticeable power gains?

I just saw you last weekend at the gas station in Carpinteria. MarioKart sounded sick getting on the onramp right there, I think it was lightin em up through 3rd gear!

I might have to come down and meet your crew and take you up on that offer of helping me with the H&R's. They are just sitting in my garage yelling at me. I think I might have to wait till after xmas though so I can do the lower control arms and IE camber plates at the same time. Santa better come through!!!!

It was cool to put a face with the name.

it was great to meet you and it is crazy how small the world really is. My girlfriend was tripping out about the whole Mini world and how you knew me from cyber space.
Yeah when ever you want we can do the springs. The pulley works well but something happened tonight. I will have to check it out in the morning. For right now I will drive the Benz.
Call me sometime and we can have lunch, are you going the Westlake meet on Sunday, 3000 cars?
Mario

 

I know about the cyberspace thing. The MINI is officialy "my wifes" car, but she does not get it.

Dude your like alot bigger that I thought you would be...for some reason I pictured you as being really short...like inches tall...with red overalls, a painter cap and a big mustache!!! j/k

I have not heard about the Westlake deal, that sounds killer!!! Where? When? For once I dont think we have anything planned this weekend.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for you that you have to drive your E55!!!

It could be worse! You saw my company car...Ford Taurus! I dont want to hear it!

 

Give me a call tomorrow and I can give you the details. Maybe we can drive down together. I know you have to bring a toy to get in. I think it is called Cars for Tots. You are right the Benz isn't that bad. 510hp is fun but it is no Mini.
