What is the point of this 16-19 conversion? And turning the tires down?

Conv. and its a performance enhancing hop up so its worth alot more then pretty alum parts that just look cool. The whole thing runs less then $20 and less then 5 mins. to setup.Just my Views on it.
how do I go about doing this conversion and what exactly do I need for parts? thanks.

You need to get the mugen pulley parts bag ( part # T0221). All of the pulleys come in the bag. They are exactly the same pulleys that are on your car stock. There is a 16t pulley in there so you want to take the 19t pulley you have in the rear (left side of car) and put that in the front to take the place of the 24t pulley. Then the 16t pulley you get from the pulley parts bag and put that on the rear. Then you need to get a new belt because the stock belt is too long.
There is a thread here in the for sale section that has the belt you will need to finish this conversion. Hope this helps....If I have left something out, anyone please post.

with the conversion dont forget that the front droop will need to be changed due to running on a tire that is 4mm smaller

I have not run the conversion myself yet
but if you are running tires up front that are 4mm smaller than
the rear, you would need to increase the ride height by 2mm in the front in order to keep the ride height at say 4.5mm and when you increase the ride height by 2mm you then lose 2mm of droop
so your droop should now be 2mm more (2mm closer to 0)

droop does NOT alter with tyre wear, only ride height!and ride height will not alter droop!
think about it take off your shocks and put your car on hudy droop blocks and gauge and your droop is set say 4mm at rear put shocks on and it will still be 4mm even if you crank spring spacers down!
anybody knows about the new mugen x12 motor?? , i mean specs!!

Why do you have to run a smaller front tire with a pulley change??? Are all you guys running this setup?
