"peg leg"? wow.

No grace at all - if this board turns into another ScionLife, I'm out.

yeah guys, there's no proof at all that this guy is who you think he is, so let's all chill out, ok?

Thank you

Use 14 wheels ( 185-55 r-14 will shave almost a sec off your 0-60 RIGHT NOW.

After doing research on this theory. It is not necessarily the size of the wheels that makes the car quicker but the ratio of the tire ie 185/60 vs 185/50 the 50 being quicker. Although if you do keep the same ratio of the same width but drop size you theoretically will but just by dropping the ratio by 10 will improve more revs per mile. Also what I have learned about doing this mod to get quicker will reduce your top speed also affecting your accuracy of your speedometer. This is the Calculator I used.

I just got my pulleys in the mail(a slip anyways). The lazy....ya..... didn't even come to my house to do a deleivery and just put the slip in my mailbox. So tomorrow i'm gonna pick them up. Don't know when i'll get to install it but i'll let you guys know what I think when I do. Thanks Garm!

if you go with too small of a tire, you'll now have to shift into third to hit TRUE 60mph lol... which means you're now slower

intake mani, supercharger, underdive pulleys, light weight wheels, or you could just spend a couple grand on a 3sgt and try to retro fit it.

when me and sabretooth swapped back seats there was a bar that was seprate from the seat that held the seat to the chassi. We were wonder if Someone were to leave that bar there, Would it assist with the suspension?

no, it doesn't directly bolt to anything that counts.. but it makes an EXCELLENT place to mount a racing harness :D

as far as the 3SGTE swap... it'll make you a very fast car.. that's still WRONG WHEEL DRIVE and very heavy, won't handle or turn like it used to, it'll be front heavy and want to swap ends on even the slightest of corners..

not a good idea if you intend to drive the car around turns ;)

I just installed my underdrive pulley and water pulley. Unfortunately I didn't install the alt because it was getting dark and I didn't know how I should go about replacing it. Do I have to remove the alt? If so how do I go about that exactly. I can loosen all the bolts no problem but what about the cables that are connected to it?

Thanks in advance

if you can loosen the mounting bolts you can loosen the cables ;)

it may be difficult to get the alternator pulley off without an impact gun though..

rkvin21 · 01-14-2009, 08:43 PM

So are ur saying I should pull it forward or take it off? I have an air ratchet does that count?

if you have the ability, leave the belt on it, nice and tight.. then try to loosen the nut. then remove the belt and install the new pulley

and enjoy your "extra power" lmfao ;)

and no, air ratchet won't do what an impact gun will.. Harbor freight sells them decently cheap.. i recommend picking up a 1/2" drive one

rkvin21 · 01-14-2009, 08:53 PM

I was asking if I should take off or pull foward the alt not the belt to replace the pulley. lol

if you can get to the nut that holds the pulley on without removing the alternator i say leave it on
but having the belt in place will help you get that nut loose

I don't have anything to fit the tight space. From what I checked its a 22mm and there wasn't much room for a wrench or ratchet. So far the only possible hard part would be removing the cables connected to the alt. What is the best way to do that?

cali yaris · 01-14-2009, 09:10 PM

when we do the pulley installs, I take the alternator off, it just makes everything easier.

i kinda figured I would lol. I'm still asking what is the best way to remove the cables that are connected to the alt more specifically the lower one. Is only brute force the answer to unplugging it or is there another way?
