RVM UDP Build Quality

I just received my RVM Racing UDP. I've seen an Unorthodox Racing UDP up close and personal and besides paint, I can find NO DIFFERENCE IN BUILD QUALITY BETWEEN THE RVM UPD AND THE UR UDP. FYI, I work with mechanical engineers. I showed them the RVM UDP and they were also impressed with its quality and workmanship.

So much for the idea of getting what you pay for.

I'm starting to run out of mods and I'm getting bored. Besides, I can easily blow more than $80.00 by taking my wife out to dinner. I might as well have something to show for it.

I was just busting chops anyway. Hey for what it's worth, I hear the 02-03 auto guys are having problems with their UR pulley. Haven't heard any complaints about the RVM. However, they are a little heavier and a little larger (I think) than the UR.

NP. I don't have the UR in front of me so I can't speak about size differences assuming they exist. But the RVM is slightly heavier. I believe it weighs about 1/10th of a pound more than the UR. I doubt that would make any real difference in performance, however.

I think you mean 1/10th of an ounce

I sure wish they made a stock size pulley, but lighter.

Oh well.

I think they offered to if there was enough interest. Check out the group deal area.
