Been a bitch of a year, lots of shit has happened and not all good, still i got it to this state over the last few months ready for Jae over here in the uk which was a fantastic weekend....

Currently with titan d/pipe, tanabe sh medalion 3"zorst, hks vpc, hks fcd, aeromotive fpr, walbro h/p pump, mishimoto rad and twin 14" fans, relocated alternator with idler pully for crank contact, lowered suspension and stage 3 "Spec" paddle clutch.

Oh and new paint job with colour coded wheels..Jdm rear lamps to come and hopefully a wideband and afr gauge then safcII to play with as well, new headgasket is required and il fit ARP studs/nuts i think for piece of mind.

before and afters;

Idler pulley is a very good idea that works well even if i say so myself, with the alternator lowered the belt slipped unless silly tight as it didnt have much contact with crank pulley, this would have knocked out the alternator and pump bearings.

"Spec" stage 3 paddle clutch, and before you ask, Yes, its a W58 box!

Wow, you did a lot of work in a year. That must be really nice having the alternator relocated for easy access to that side of the engine (like the horrible upper starter bolt...)

having the alternator there is SOOOO nice. one of my favorite 'mods' i did for my car... and i like how you cured the problem of finding the right belt... where did you get the bearing? and where is the placed??? the bottom bracket bolt?
