Depending on if you have the underdrive pulley or stock dia light pulley. you can get the belts at any parts store. URs site will tell you what belt to use.

yeah, i'm assuming it's the underdrive (i ordered it before i knew there were two sizes) because when i look at my engine in the back yard, the stock pulley is bigger.

so if i get underdrive crank pulleys i need to get the underdrive belt

so from what i understood in the website this may reduce my a/c and stereo component or it does not reduce anything if i have a underdrive belt right

still have not found a clear answer to that one yet

you know where i can find underdrive belts for UR crank pulleys ?

i dont know about the a/c... but if your running a stereo system that needs alot of juice from your alternator then you dont want to underdrive it

i say jsut get the stock diameter and call it a day lol thats what i did

i called the guys from excelerate and they said unless i have a big stereo i wont notice anything and the a/c wont really be effected that bad

how much gains you got from the stock diameter ?

here's what's goin on.... you got stock dia size (bigger) they fit with regular belts.

under drive pulleys need under drive belts because of a smaller diameter therefore needing shorter belt. i'd imagine the underdrive would be better for performance because of lower weight and less rotating mass... but i could be wrong.

I will still prefer a Mustang. Doesn't take much modifications to decent hp. Plus i love how they sound with a good exhaust setup.

lol i think i must have been hit over the head when i was a kid because i would still rather get the BMW because those damn mustangs are everywhere

the bmw is much more rare and much more exclusive thats why i would have it even if it costs more but anyways

lol right now i drive a acura and i cant wait to see what it does when im done moding it

i respect eveyrones opinion by the way no insult ment by this comment

I love the 8 series, man if you can get 1 for a decent price i would take it over a stang any day, if i had the money i would get the 840i for sure. Its rare, the body doesn't look dated, it's not an overplayed mustang, it's German, big engine, and if you repaint it, ohh man.. sry got too excited.
