Loren: did you change out your ignition / plugs?

 

no not yet, i had a test to study for of which i just got back, then i have to take down the halloween stuff, mow the lawn and wash my car...and then i hope to start the plugs this evening.
cool skin keith, i saw a similar verison (white) for the sedan that i might try (once i can play the game) xbox shipped out last friday.

Hello all, been out of the loop being deployed again and all, so here is the skinny, I will be purchasing the BHR radiator, OEM reservior, O2 solenoid, BHR Coils, new plugs and wires, new driver side tail light, new fog light, and maybe the temp control module. I need help installing all this stuff. I went to the stealership and they want to take the arm and leg to install it all. Long story short, while I was gone my moms caregiver was driving my car and didnt take care of it, left my mom with no working car, stole money from her and it forced me to have to come back from Afghanistan early. So as soon as I get all the parts could someone help me do the work? Also was wondering what happened to the "Fluid Motorsports Hymee SC system? They are not even listed in the vendor section. Again I have been way out of the loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even though I am back short from a deployment and back to way more crap then when I left. Its sooooo good to be back

 

I just love the paint editor, except for the time it takes.

not a huge loss, but more of an issue of the team having to adjust players around and placing rookies on the active roster as backups rather than being just on the practice squad and having those with experience as backups.

With the offense back to its strong ways, who cares about defense, right

 

that is what Drew Brees is saying.

 

When's the meet?

 

Saturday, November 14th.

 

Car's fixed. Hands hurt.

 

cars? plural

xbox is at its destination! 5 more days or less.

 

My english ain't so good when I'm tired. I fixed my post.

 

Cesar: what did you end up doing?
details man, we need details.

 

Stock pulleys are back on. The pulley on the alternator was seized. I finally got it off, but it's definitely not going on any other car. It's destroyed. After I removed the pulley from the alternator, I took the alternator to get tested. Tested fine, but FYI - Autozone has a replacement alternator made by Mitsubishi that cost $150.
Bought a new battery. Put on new belts. Refilled the missing coolant. Drove around last night, seemed to be fine. Drove to work this morning monitoring the temps w/ the Accessport, and everything seemed fine.

Now I have 2 Unorthodox pulleys to sell. I'll have to knock a bunch off for the missing pulley.

 

glad to hear it's fixed.

 

doubt you'll be able to find a buyer for an incomplete pulley set...you may want to take the time to see if Unorthodox even sells replacement parts individually and get the price for replacement of that single pulley...than, either discount that on the price of what you are selling, or purchase the part ahead of time and just know that will cut into any profit made on the sale.

It was too bad we didn't have an impact gun, that may have made it easier to take off.

 

The bolt came off no problem. That wasn't the issue. The actual pulley that slides on was seized.

It just so happens that Unorthodox sells the alternator pulley alone. The alternator pulley is stock size. It's only lighter.
So there is a possibility someone will buy the 2 other pulleys since they are the actual undrive pulleys, and they are also lighter.
On their site the set of three is $381 and the alternator pulley alone is $87.

I'm sure the weight savings on the alternator pulley is probably about 1oz max. Not really worth $87.

 

Should have stopped by my place, my neighbor has all that stuff along with a huge compressor (he lets me borrow) not too mention it would have gotten me to do my plugs which are not put off until next weekend , which is already packed.

Tennis tonight right Keith!?

Glad to hear it is fixed Cesar.

 

Correction -
I just checked and according to Unorthodox;
OEM Pulley = .40lbs
Their Pulley = .10lbs
So the weight savings is .30lbs or 4.6oz.
