Pulley kit

I got the 2 pulley GFB kit with belts.

I was going to go the 3 pulleys but was told by the guy that makes them that very little gain, basically just looks good. The crank pulley is the main one to change.

Getting them fitted when the car gets serviced on Thursday.

They say it's similar to taking about 50kg out of your car.

Heres what they say.

Will let you know what I think when they are in. :wink:

Can't be too much, saw a vid and took about 1/2 hour to install.

stock pulley is heavy as cannonball. i watched phat install my pulleys last year..... not an easy job. think took him 1.5-2 hours for the three pulleys. crank pulley was quickest one though, he just used breaker bar to rip the pulley off.

subtle...... like a chainsaw.

(just quietly..prob the one i'd get too)

btw is this suitable for the 07 too?
and would the 3 pulley set be better? i wanted to get some for my old car but you try finding bits for a volvo S40 t4 in this country.

$279 is a pretty good price for them. They look nice!

Not the type of car to have all different colours in my engine bay.

Tomorrows the day, will let you know.

I may see you guys Thursday night anyways. I have some mates meeting somewhere down the shire, so I may message one of you and find where it's at.

And if Viriix is going I can race him on the way back to the hills :wink:
