Pulley Party Anyone.....

I am interested in upgrading to the 15% alta pulley from outmotoring. Not being a mechanic, I am concerned about doing this myself. So far I have installed PIAA driving lights, leather shift and ebrake boots, and a ProMINI CAI, but am very leary about the supercharger pulley. I think I read somewhere that you have to jack the engine up to release tension on the belt? Im not sure of my abilities. Also I have a new MINI, have anyone had problems with warranty work? Oh.. and anyone doing pulley parties 400 miles within or around VT? Fat chance I know....

Like everyone else, I want more out of my MINI. It's a damn addiction!

Get down to Providence RI this weekend as we are having one there with Randy Webb. I know he has at least one opening.

That sounds great! I will have to make the next one though, as I am sure there will be others. I would need at least a 2 week notice to travel down that far. Let me know when the next one is and I will be there!


Thanks!

Yep, Burlington is close by. Unfortunately I have a previous engagement this weekend. If I knew about it sooner, I would be there. I will keep my eyes peeled and will make the next one though. Now I just need to order the pulley. I just have to somehow get it past the wife. Hmmmmm......
