today i have it a little bit better, but people on my apartment complex keep denting my ends, !@$$!. oh well. but after the abuse that it has undergone in the past year(weekly commute of 500mi) my attention has to go to back to the engine. I'm looking to 'upgrade' my pulleys, i need to anyhow,does anyone know where a can get a good kit for it?
I'll post some pics of how it looks currently, after i wash it, some time this week.

Dude, please post pictures. That would be the best save ever.
And there is really only one pulley that can be replaced, the crank pulley.
Unothordox Racing is the only manufacturer right now (besides eBay pullies) IIRC. You can find a AFX used sometimes.
Welcome back!

If you do, don't replicate the UR or AFX, replicate the customcargrills.com easy-on/easy-off pulley. So much better...

sorry about the glare i didn't notice it before the posting. You can notice the 'love bumps' my dear neighbors have left in the front and back bumper.
I'm really looking fwd,to sharing any progress, and learning from everyone's experience here.
I'll take some pics of the engine bay, i got to take care of power steering, dirty cooling system, loose water reservoir, pulley, and it needs some serious cleaning.
Also i'll share some pics of the suspension work i'll be doing soon, oh yeah, some underskirt pictures.want to do something serious, to withstand mountain road speeding conditions.
