Soooooo Unsure if i want to Keep it sleeper looking or chuck some Black SSV wheels on it ???

thoughts ???

 

[kingyinperth]

19" I presume? whats on it now 18's? would look schmick I reckon BUT might just need a subtle bit of lowering.

I vote yes do it lol

 

[supercharger kingy]

LOL .. yeah 19" .. dont wanna lower it plus i think i really wanna keep this sleeper look going ..
might just save my money and buy some engine bay accessories

I think the money would be much bettet spent on the engine. Same money as a set of rims would get u some ported bare heads, with ur already upgraded vavletrain you'd just have to swap it all over ??

 

[supercharger kingy]

Yeah I decided to keep the stock look . Love sleepers ..

Nice car Kingy, love the sleeper look.

Have you checked the balancer?
The throwing of the A/C belt is a common issue, and numerous people have discovered their harmonic balancer has unacceptable run out.
As a mechanic by trade, I'm still yet to be convinced that having an extra pulley is going to keep a belt on a pulley when the balancer has a 3-5mm wobble. However, the balancer wobbling 3-5mm at 5-6000rpm would certainly cause the belt to jump around.
My A/C belt has come off a couple of times but I've been fortunate that it hasn't done any damage to either the belt or anything else. I have a new Powerbond balancer to go on at its 90K service, so will see how that goes.

Yes we also placed a new balancer on there.. it looked like it didn't need it but just for piece of mind
its been over a week now with no issues ..
