It was just as you described...scary! I was able to drive it back to my brothers house and of course this took place on Sunday. I took the next day off since I had now way to get back to AZ and lucky for me my brother is a motor-head so he was able to get a trailer for us to tow it to the dealer. The local dealer in Victorville, CA did not have the parts and made some calls to other dealers in SoCAL for me. Long story short, we trailered the Z to the dealer in Montclair and they had me in and out within hour and a half. They change the idler pulley, replaced the belt and washed the car. They were awesome!!! No problems since then, but its always in the back of my mind and I check it regularly now. __________________ *Fast Intentions TT Installed and Tuned by Seb at SpecialtyZ 610whp 560tq:\|Fast Intentions 3" TT-TDX*\|SpecialtyZ/Fast Intentions 72 Row Oil Cooler\|SZ 6 Puck Clutch & Flywheel\|3GsCustoms\|Z1\|Wavetrac\|Hotchkis\|Whiteline \|Blitz\|Fortune Auto 500\|Fujimura\|SPL\|H&R\|TK\|TWM\|RPM Rollbar\|Sparco\|Next Level Performance\|TrackSpec\|AeroFlow Dynamics\|Pioneer\|
