My pulleys... mmmmhmm...





took shiney's advice from a couple weeks ago... no more mudflaps!



corners...



my hawt gauges...



she turned 60000 not too long ago! im so proud

and this one's for all you haters...



















wheel's clean! now I need a horn button...

 

lookin good man

how are the pulleys workin?

 

the car pulls alright... I'll go get it dynoed someday when its quiet and no mustangs are around cause thats what EVERY FUCKING CUBAN DRIVES DOWN HERE. A FUCKING 5.0 MUSTANG GT

-Alex

 

 

looking good, could use a few touch ups here and there, but otherwise nice car

 

Those pulleys LOOK nice, I'm look'n to swap pulleys on my 3.0.. and red also. You didn't notice any proformance gain?? Forget the Cubans

 

the gain is def. there, especially felt when you floor it and you climb to higher rpms, really complementing VTEC.

Also, I definitely need to paint this thing over again. She's got so many scratches and small dents...

-Alex

 

That or the V6 Camaro's.

 

Nice..by the way I like my mud flaps...Oh yeah SHIFT.. and stop making fun of your people.

 

I need to clean where the flaps were, cause it's all dirty and nasty

I was gunning it so shifting would have been

and they are my people, but shit they are so bad sometimes. It gets to the point sometimes where it's just embarrasing

haha yes, the v6 camaros... cant forget those. And the booty base + regeton blasting from their ghetto systems - it's almost as if it came out of a cartoon man. You should come down and see it for yourself sometimes

 

Well cubiche here in Union City NJ is the highest Cuban population next to Miami but here they are all little wanna bee thugs and drive civics with stolen parts. Gotta love the V6 Camaro playing Tego Calderon

 

Is there a good time to install new pulleys to coincide with regular maintenance--say when you get the timing belt changed?? Was also wondering how much new pulleys would cost...Thanks

 

the only one that you'll see any performance gains from would be the crank pulley.

I happened to buy mine around 54/55000 miles (right before my 60000) so I changed to new belts. YOU WILL NEED NEW BELTS.

I got them for 290 shipped off a vendor on the site named Excelerate; he's a great guy, and keeps up with you if you ever have any questions. However, I dont know if he's still selling them @that price, but its worth a look and a question. (290 shipped is for the 3 piece kit, Alternator, power steering, AND crank.)

 

Pullies look nice, I want to put some on my 3.0 too. For gods sake, clean your wheel wells and your body where the mudflaps were.

Nice work on gettin the steering wheel now for gods sake get a horn button, and a new airbag cover





man

 

The pullies add some gain to my 2.2. I've heard that, at least for the 3.2's, they add ALOT of power. Perhaps same for 3.0's...

unfortunately, I just had the car cleaned like 1 day before I took off the flaps But no worries, I'll be taking it again very soon to get cleaned... I need to keep up w/this at least 1nce a week (I cant stand my car being dirty for too long... she just doesnt deserve it!)

I went to a couple junkyards 2/3 weeks ago w/rustyskim and tried looking for a horn button, but to no avail. fucking junkers gut the entire thing! And there are definitely a few small pieces I could use...

Both Airbags look kinda weird actually.. Im thinking that the car was in a small accident and they both popped The color is off by a lot (same as the one you can see in the wheel pic..)

-Alex

 

^^^ maybe it was in an accident cause the headlights, and hood don't seem to be lined up properly.

 

Looks good! I like the guages

 

why is your check engine light on?

 

and what gauges are those? indiglo?

 

they are the AC S7 autotechnics...

they light up REAL pretty at night. way better than the indiglo's...

I'll take some pics tonight, post em tomorrow.

-Alex

ps - and the check engine light, according to my mechanics, is a cylinder 1 misfire. I dont know what it could be, because we've checked it over and over again... reset the thing, and it still comes on?

 

does it stutter?

 

i got the same cylinder 1 misfire happening too ...what is there to do to fix it

 

mine is always on too. but its something to do with my catalytic converter. i think i may have fucked somethin up when i put on my exhaust.

my cyclone blue was totaled b4. it got ran over by a semi front the center of the hood to the pass. rear QP. it was some dumbass owner b4 me. but hey they fixed it well and i got it for only 5g's with only 36k miles.

mine also has a few dent and dings. one of them is on the front bumper on the passenger side from where i was drunk and hit a chainlink fence while pulling out of my friends yard. there are also holes where there used to be a front tag. my pass taillight is cracked just a little, not really noticable but i know its broken. the point of this is i know how you feel man but im waiting til i get done modding b4 i clean it up.

 

I baught mine with a small crack also but the dealer says as long as they can't see white light and it will pass inspection, they don't have to fix it. oh well nothing big.

 

So, it looks like my cyl1 is lean. the wires are fine, but every now and again it'll misfire. going back to the mechs today to check it all out.

oh yea, my battery died yesterday! I thought that it was the starter and that I was going to have to shell out 300$~ to replace/install.

instead, only cost a 3rd of that w/the battery+install.

-Alex

 

my dad is talking the CYL 1 misfire to a mechanic he knows, so we'll see what happens....i also need new bearings

 

its not on the part where the bulbs are housed. its off to the the side like this(not my car) the part that is circled if you can see it is broke off of mine.

PS all this pollen is pissing me off. i washed my car yesterday and it looks like shit again today. damn i hate trees

 

well for you guys with the cylinder 1 missfire, this might help you out. my 2.2cl had cylinder 1-4 missfire and took it to carmax to look at it. took them a day and a half but finally found it. it is my distributer. they check and replaced plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor button, checked injectors, compression, fuel pressure, coil, and finally traced the problem to the cylinder 2 ignition something or other in the distributer that was reading 9 x's the voltage it was suppose too.

 

Damn I need a spoiler , Dustbusters looks great...

 

lol, i haven't seen a pic of rick's car for years

 

omg man i hear u, i live in perth amboy a few miles south of u. what a mess lol. btw the pulley set up and the gauges are sick bro.
