Anyone pissed about Unorthodox Racing?

I am. The damn Alt pulley was supposed to be done by End of June, then would be shipped by First week of July, then I got an email saying it would ship July 24th....

I am and at UR.... Why the delay? The pullies are now just an added weight in the trunk!

Anyone is still waiting to get the Alt before the install?

i still want to see a dyno on these things, as well has get some solid information on the whole damper issue and how the stock pully has one and these dont and the possible engine damage we could put ourselves into...a HP gain is not worth engine failure with no warrenty...have any of these things been resolved yet? any solid information? any true performance #s??? if the gains are good, and the price is right and the lack of a damper wont cause catostrophic engine failure, this wait will be worth it.

Nah, that's why some of us are waiting for independent dyno sheets.

Besides, that difference wasn't the pullies, it was MAGIC.

I'm also waiting on the pullies. I called last week and they told me the end of july. I'd rather the delay and release the right product rather than rushing and releasing an inferior product

No offense, but I don't understand why anyone would think that the product they are supposed to release at the end of July will be at all correct. From what I've seen Unorthodox Racing does not appear to be the most trustworthy of companies.

To me, this whole thing is just smoke and mirrors. And, I'm not sure why anyone would put that crank pulley on their car and risk major damage for a few ponies, but that's just me.

And Nashua, you seem so enthralled with these pulleys that you are willing to overlook anything in order to justify their build quality and safety for our engine. I hope for your sake you are correct because I'll bet you won't get a whole lot of help from Unorthodox should a problem arise.

Everything will probably be fine, but it's just a little too risky for me to be a pioneer.

Shawn said they have a non-TVD "FACTORY" pulley for the CLS/Accord there...

How about someone bringing a digital camera along to take some pics -- that would be "useful"...

It would be great if someone could bring along a "stock" pulley and compare the two in a set of pictures....
