For those that replaced their aluminum V2 mounting with matty's plate: so what did you guys do with your old plates?

Deciding whether to upgrade the plate or sell the SC kit.

 

i still have it after i got mattys v1 plate.

 

Hmmm maybe stick some flowers in the stalks so its a fancy flower pot? Makes for a great coffee table display.

 

sell the SC kit Damn why would you want to do this? Do u not like the boost??

 

Been thinking of trading her in...

 

for what car? A TT Toyota Supra 6Speed?

Go for it...............JK

 

You can GIVE it to me. I won't mind using it for you

 

Ok, Ok, Ok... boost has won out over common sense! I've put my deposit in to matty!

 

There u go!!

 

Had a chat with the little missy and she didn't mind me spending some coin on the car. LoL even she hates the belt shredding! She really likes the roominess of the Max and wants me to keep the car. We've also been transporting alot of seniors and friends around lately and changing cars wasn't in the cards yet.

 

Why are those the only two options?

 

Are you offering suggestions?

Anyhow I put my deposit down with matty so its a non-issue now. I still want to boost with the seniors in the back seat at breakneck speeds! Lol!

 

Whats another option ??

Guys with V2 plates dont really want to tinker with the alignment after shredding a belt, especially since a gatorback belts cost $40 and about 2-3 hours taking it off and reinstalling just to see it shred another belt.

just my .02$

I've never had any problems. Not when my SC was on my '96, not now on my '99. Not with my 3.6" pulley, not with my 3.25" pulley and not now with my 2.87" pulley. With all due respect, I think belt problems are an SC installation and/or belt tension problem caused by the installer. Even if there was a problem, I believe mhadford had a great write-up on how to fix belt shredding problems.

 

Ya'll guys got me checking my belt everyday, but I should be alright with the Lexus steel idler pulley I have installed.

 

I definetly agree about the installer being at fault. But when you really break it down, the V2 plate is Aluminum. That is worst case senerio outside of cardboard. Once that baby heats up, the flexing that occur is totally dependant on how much boost you are creating. Its just not a good scene.

I really wouldnt wanna drive around the block with a V2 plate, but thats just me.

I've started to notice that the frequency of belt shredding has increased in proportion to the age of that V2 plate, so there must be some plate flexing. I had the kit installed Oct.2000 and I think I've gone through at least 5 belt shreds so far.

 

$200 dollars in belt's
