Of course, the advice I get is that everything I want to do/have done is wrong.


So I essentially have to start over again.
Ani may be jealous that you enjoyed me in person...

Never said it was WRONG...if you wanted colored, lightweight pulleys, then you got colored, lightweight pulleys. However, if your goal was to gain power from it...then you'd need to ditch the overdrive pulley and stick with just the underdrive pulley.

Seeing as you have messed with your audio system a bit, I wouldn't recommend this, btw.

When I have another car to DD and the Z will just be fun car, I will be pulling the stereo out. And I've kept my OEM pulleys (I believe??) for the potential of reinstalling them at a later date, or at least the OEM Alternator pulley... I'll just need to get a shorter belt.

And just since you think I'm just lol Here:

What Bobo doesn't like about my car:

ALL Suspension: Didn't learn to drive car on OEM Suspension first to find what/where I wanted(needed) to change.

Understandable, but this is what I didn't have before were places to find out where/what to do and someone to explain to me things.

Brakes: Doesn't like the Cross-drilled/Slotted rotors and believes in just slotted or solids.

I will agree to that one, but since mine isn't full race car, I went for some aesthetics too.

Fluids: Switching out brake fluid in < 1 year intervals

Ok, I was just going off of what I read on here. Bad info..

The Wing: Worthless and useless.

It is NOT dammit! I needz downfoarce!

Doesn't mean you HAD to go and buy it before you learned lol

Nothing wrong with quality drilled/slotted for the street. We've talked about this.

Fluids: Switching out brake fluid in < 1 year intervals

You aren't killing anything by doing it. It's just overkill.

Also, none of these gripes qualify as "hate" lol

I know, it's just fun because you are SO firm in your ideas and thoughts. So it can come off as if someone does something you don't agree with, or wouldn't do yourself, they're dumb.


I know you mean well, I just wish I had someone like you or Steve local in AZ when I started out to learn from.

Live and learn. The good news is you didn't buy crap parts, so you're fine. You just have to get everything set up correctly.
