Still love them ur pulleys. I did replace with a tighter belt after awhile. Pulleys were installed around 50,000 miles and currently at 100,000.
no problems.
Wow, it sounds alike UR and NST pulley are very good quality and last longer. I am considering to get one for my 04' TSX but I also interesting into Hondata because it is recommendation to get first mod than other mods. So I have to make decision.

That's interesting info about pulley kit and running better performance than stock. Hey let me ask you, do you think UR and NST pulley are same quality and performance? I heard that NST is a little lightwight than UR, but I am sure both brands are very good quality.

After 1000 miles, I wouldn't be worried. If the pulleys aren't wobbling, you're probably good! I'm pretty much sold on the cheap version!!

Can you take a pic of the pulleys installed? Thx.

I can take the picture now but You won`t be able to see much..
I put Ralco pulley set, Injen cai & comptech headers at the same time and the power gain was more than noticable.

If only I could find LSD for my car that doesn`t cost +1200$..it is the only thing left I would like to put to my car.

Thx.

The Civic Si LSD was going for around $700, that was a while back...

If you're doing the LSD, research changing some gears too, maybe RSX or Civic Si.

Hondata reflash will be your last mod, wait, do you have 07+?

No, my Honda is December/2006.
It would be a problem to send ECU to USA and wait for a month.
Is there "plug`n`play" LSD that requires no other modification?

The Civic Si LSD should bolt right in (of what I've read)...so should the $1200 Quaife...
