But, I still give your car 9.5. Guess the cleanliness helps you lots with the score.

These AL pulleys have been on the car for 3 month now and have been run in 30 minute mains almost every Sunday and so far, they look like new.

I had one belt snap on me yet and that was with the plastic pulleys.

Also, Manti, all the 3R parts I have on this car work absolutely flawless

you need to shim the engine mount a bit taller as the MTX2 flywheel is bigger.

Post some photos of those disk.... Actually some here are using the Enetti one who looks and performs sweet....

BTW All: Today went out the second batch of belts to all the people who requested, many places to go.... Malaysia, NC, VA, Dublin, HK, Sweden.... Enjoy them (mine did).

Some pics of the conversion. Look on this photo how far remains the belt from the hot manifold. Photo reduction made by Manticore remote imaging systems

Have you raced with this new belt set up yet?
Does the car drive any differently?
