I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me.
Default Impreziv.......noticable?

So "Black Cory"......have you had a chance to get the pulleys and/or mounts on yet? What do you think?

Not yet dude! It'll likely be on Saturday. I'm all anxious though! I'll let you know how the install goes, and what I think afterward for sure!

^^^I saw your car sitting there, but I guess you didn't come in and eat with us. I was looking to meet you and put a face with the moniker!

Thank you for the hookup dude! I know you can prob use the money! Moving out of state and getting a new job isn't cheap! I know!

Finally got everything installed. With the pulley size difference, I really see the most improvements in the elec. system with the alt spinning faster and all! Power gains I'd say are minimal by the ass dyno, but it's not a matter of each part, but the combo of all your mods that make the difference! Ha!

Thanks again for keeping me in mind Nick! I really appreciate it dude!

Glad I could help. Could you see the difference with the crank pulley with the lightened rotational mass. I thought that it was obvious to me but, you know that was my professional opinion. ha ha. Have fun with it man!

I dunno. After driving it for a few days, it feels like it may have picked up a step or two. May just be in my head, 'cause I'm looking for it to be faster! Ha!

I'm still very pleased tho! Thx again Bro!

"quick" not equal to "fast"

Ha ha! Now your new car on the other hand...

BOTH!

Well, now that I've spent some time driving, and have had a chance to make some comparisons, I can say that I think the car HAS picked up a step or so. I raced my buddy with the Integra, who used to easily pull me through second and third gear, and we were neck and neck! I can say that it really does seem quicker!

The dim ass lights and shit at idle amuse me! I can hear a speed difference in the heater fan when I rev the motor from idle! Everything does still seem more efficient when I'm at a cruise tho. The lights in the dash don't dim when the bass from the sub hits anymore. Hmmm... I dunno, maybe it's just in my head!

Good to hear that you're amused! I bet they look pretty under your hood too...... So Cory, whats next? You've gotta woop his ass with your next mod! What'll it be!

So I've scheduled my car to get the window tinted on monday. I'm going with an 18% charcoal "ST" which means it will have a more reflective look that your typical tint.

You know me and my reflective tint. Scott, don't worry, it's not the Chrome tint that my old RS had.

Oh yeah, how did the mounts fit?

everything went together really well. Not even a hiccup! And now that the rsb is in mounts and bushings made for it, instead of 350Z bushings, it doesn't squeak nearly as much either!
