Eclipse982nr (1:51:23 PM): have you seen his eclipse tho
Enll5 (1:51:34 PM): but a whole bunch of people on that message board have underdrive pulleys, and haven't had any problems
Enll5 (1:51:41 PM): nope, didnt know he even had one
Eclipse982nr (1:51:52 PM): omg it was in fast and furious

That's the car he bought. It was in Import Ricer before he owned it, and it has the corvette tails. WTF are people telling the 2GNT owners?

its a crank pulley first off ... and in no way shape or form attached to the wheels (well besides the crank...)let alone the alignment ... civics have alternator pulley and power steering ... again nothing to do with alignment ... i would recommend u dont EVER bring your car to this man ..

yeah i know. i have only bought a few thinbgs from there, and he has never touched my car. he has told me some pretty dumb things, but this is by far the worst I have ever heard.

Well if you put a UDP on your car you better take it to Sears to get it aligned the next day.

(sarcasim btw)

hah. those rim and trim guys are uh......yea. ive been there before. ive seen that car too. pretty nice i guess. not sure if i like those tails. its a 4g63, not a 420a.

speaking of knob. where is the guy that had the "knob" at the shootout? he he. you were helping install the ignition in 95greenhrcgs's car.

Well if you don't get the underdrive pulley installed correctly and all the way on it could affect the alignment of the pulley belts in relation to the other pulleys/tensioners. That is why some ppl here have had problems with shredding and throwing belts. An alignment isnt only in reference to the wheels you know.
Just a thought,

^^^took the words out of my mouth. thank you, i was thinking the same thing.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

any one who puts corvett tails on a 2g needs shot. I saw that sat. and just laughed my azz off. and yes pulley alignment is goo

i realize thats probabaly what he meant, but it's still retarded. he acts like its a problem that can't be fixed.

thegame: what rim and trim did you go to? there's a couple of em. did you go to the one in kent?

Knob boy would be the1bill while working on Mr. Crimp's car (not one of the connections to anf from the MSD were crimped.

The only thing that will cause improper belt alignment is incorrect installation. It's not a problem.

If this guy truely was talking about wheel alignment... what a wank.

Smooth idle? We don't need no stinking smooth idle.
