ah, okay. i'd heard that about pulley's messing up your electrical system, and now it makes sense. The alternator won't spin as much with a smaller diameter pulley, so it won't produce as much electricity. So a pulley that's the same size won't have any adverse effects?

I'm gonna be nosey Hanzie, just ignore me if you want.
I was curious, do you have another job too? Just wondering how you bought the house. I'm kinda in the same position as you, recent college grad (or you're about to be) and trying to find a good job to get my own house.

Hanzie doubles as a male prostitute in the Frisco area. The local patrons have given him a very low rating and extremely poor reviews. Because of his bad reputation for not putting out, I doubt he'll be seeing good money in the future.
This was paraphrased from an article in the Frisco Tribune.

A buddy of mine is an ex stereo installer and his system performed noticeably worse after getting a smaller lightened pulley.

I've been thinking about getting pulleys for a while. If I find for sure that it doesn't affect my electrical, and figure out how hard it may be to install / have installed, I might jump on it. It could be the last engine mod I do--barring a chip I guess.

pulleys shouldn't be to hard, except you have to pull the side wheel off and pull off the guard stuff around there, then get a wrench with a 35mm socket i think. with auto, it's kinda hard to get the bolt loose. i think you have to crank it for a sec then shut it off real quick. my buddy did it on his auto 240 but it was a lil easier to do as those are rwd.
shouldn't be to bad to do yourself.

Danny,
I am not a male prostitute, all the time, hehe. No, Sarah and I had some help from the rents. The down payment was and is a wedding present. Now we make the mortage (spelling?) payments. Sarah got a 5th grade teaching position in plano this summer. Also, i am continuing my employment at my internship. we are paying about the same every month that we did for our apartment in Fort Worth. So basically it is no different except for alittle more bills, larger bills, and some stuff we had to buy for the house, etc......................................
