they make the kit for all car's. ill give the link.

the benefits of a gilmer drive are.
if you remove every thing that is belt driven besides the water pump and alternator,
you have to buy a yahoo belt(pineapple racing sells it) it goes around the water pump and e-shaft. if you dont run a yahoo belt at high rpm's the belt will slip on the water pump pulley and not spin it.
so you only have to run one belt. the yahoo belt is a bitch to put on (rember putting a bike chain on same idea)
you never have to worry about it sliping. less belts to replace. they last longer.
theres two types of gilmer drive kits round tooth and square tooth. the square tooth are the louder one's.
since its geared you dont have to have it as tight. so longer bearing life.
theres a few more reason's

the only bad effect is if you dont like the sound, and if you done and have it way to tight the alt bearing will go faster but the sound it makes tells you have it too tight.

two bad things about this setup more honda's will try to race you thinking you have a super charger. and if your car is turbo, people will think you have a twin charge system and mite not want to race you.

this setup is great for us who live in mass and dont need our smog pumps as of this year.

gen and his ct boys you know you want to live in mass because your 94 and older track cars can be street cars.


any ways iam going to go play cod4 and

Do you guys remember the ridiculous noise my car made when I came to a stop? The PO of my car removed the brake pad shims. I ordered them Friday so when they come in I'm doing wheels and shims at the same time to avoid doing 40 lug nuts two times . Thanks for the compliment, I've wanted these wheels since before I bought my turbo.

So I just replaced my spark plugs, lmao. One of my plugs was using gasoline as anti-seize. The threads all the way up were black and of course the tip. I think I'm running a tad rich.

My car passed with a downpipe and no air pump . I didn't even tip the guy or anything.

Ben you don't live that far. A girl I used to go clubbing with lives in Teksbury. And yes Christian, I meant TurboII. Whatever turbo I upgrade to is going to be a hybrid. I'm still new to modifying cars.
