got my AEM pullies.... and ( oh this gets better )

WOW, these pullies are amazing, until i was driving, i hear some cling chitter bang bang,..... im like WTF.... maybe it was a rock.

so i go abouts my way.... got home..... didnt think nothing of it, i had to wash my car, so i had to move my car... all of a sudden my car its making this wierd *** sound.....

sounds like BELTS.... hence AEM PULLIES......
so i rev it up a bit......BOOOOM...... the idler pully that is between the A/C snaps off... WTF.... im getting scared now.... dont know what the hell it was... so i look, the power steering pully found its way out as well.... im llike GREAT,,,, just great,,, WTF happened...

so i took out the Idler pully and threw off my power steering belt on my SIR, b/c its still drivable....... im lucky it wasnt the Alternator, but the AEM pullies that are bolted in are IN GOOD so they wont snap off... but i remember my buddy loosed the idler pully........ and he didnt TIGHTEN IT.... ARGGGGGGGG......
but what can i do....

all i can say i have no power steering in the SIR,,,,, and the car is absolutely ohuckin amazing... this car pulls VERY HARD without the pully.... man oh man, who needs power steering... all i need is my AC pully and thats good enough for me....

haha yeah thats my rant...so no more one hand gangster turn's
im using both hands now just like i was in driving school!

p.s remember the cling chitter bang bang??????
yeah that was my IDLER PULLY BOLT.... I FOUND IT AGAIN... drove down the street!!!!!

Power steering?
Whats that....???

You're also feeling more power from the lack of power steering.... Oh and pullies don't create any power, the power was there already.... all you feel is less frictional weight.

if you want to improve performance take out the a/c... the weight alone will do wonders...

and if you running no p/s now make sure you swap out your steering rack to one from a cx

Yeah man don't drive with a power steering rack that is not powered. That is a bad idea.

haha ***** my ***

hes just not retarded and cheap like you rick... trying to free up any hp you can from that D16 instead of spending money to add more performance your being cheap and taking off amenities that most people who buy a car love to have. You go drive your little rust bucket with power nothing and enjoy the speed, because thats all you will enjoy lol

and stop being so damn cheap, for god sakes you have a job and all lol

you mean that fully build z6 right lol

and theres something to be said about a fast ugly car, its still damn ugly lol

nobody cares if your car is fast if you have rust coming off the sides and it looks like a POS, whos gonna say "wow damn thats a sweet car" haha nobody

now a fast car that looks sexy has the best of both worlds

but you enjoy driving your rust bucket there rick

what you drive makes an impression on people, it doens't have to be bling but if its clean, even if it stock but paint is beautiful and it looks like the owner took really good care of it then it says something about the person driving. But maybe you dont care how people pass judgement on that kind of stuff, but I like to be presentable and show people I care about what image im projecting to my surroundings.

And your other quote:


if its still a civic why are you worrying about doing an engine swap then? if its still a civic? if you dont like your car why not buy something with power from stock?

wrx? camaro?

you make no sense buddy

cause an h22 is way cheaper then either of those options just to purchase... then insurance doubling or worse... just not worth it

i'm probably gonna do something about the body work next spring or just buy a clean shell... but i look at it what would i rather have fresh paint on my car or an h22 i choose the h22

^ iv got mroe respect for somebody who can build a fast car, whocares about having a perfect show type exterior, all your doing is attracting heat to your self from cops,thiefs etc....iv got more respect for a rust bucket with a fast motor then some blinged out car with no *****.
