Andy665 0 Posted October 15, 2005 ....having its fuel lines replaced and its toothed belt drive fitted - so looking forward to getting it back on Tuesday - resprayed RS2 bumper will be ready this week as well, just a pity the car will be sitting on my dads drive in Cheshire for a month and a bit from next weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted October 17, 2005 John has kindly phoned me and let me hear my motor now that it has its toothed belt drive fitted - noise is awesome. John has introduced a little tweak to the system for me - not told me what it is but I'm sure all will be revealed tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbybrown 0 Posted October 17, 2005 Hi Andy, for Corrados I think is there no better colour. Personally I look forward to the pictures with new bumper fitted. chubbz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted October 17, 2005 andy - i would really like to see and talk to you/people who have had this done as it's a mod that i would like to have done, but reckon i should have the fmic done first but would rather have this done first :? i do like that feeling tho when you get things done :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted October 17, 2005 i want one of those!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks for the comments peeps Chubbybrown - I'm not convinced how the front bumper will look but seeing as though someone reversed in to me last week and took some paint off the original I thought I'd spend the money getting the RS2 sprayed JT-G60 - I've wanted this mod for ages and persauded John to sell me his last one, the tweak he has introduced, he reckons, has made it the best one he has done so far. Luckily I already have a big FMIC and the toothed drive was the last "affordable" upgrade to be done before the bigger projects start going Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted October 17, 2005 "affordable" i know that feeling, but yeah it's a mod that i've only heard good things about and would really like to have a look/listen at someone's car who has had it done, hopefully someone at stealth on the 27th will have it and i can bug them about it then.... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted October 17, 2005 I'll be at stealth and I have a 65mm Toothed Belt Kit thanks to Darren at G-Werks - Whole new design that looks awesome. Also Henny will have the older style 68.something toothed pulley kit. More than enough for you to have a butchers at! Also the price with the new pulley kits are lower than the previous ones so get down to the £300ish mark as opposed to £375ish that they used to be!

Andy665 0 Posted October 18, 2005 Picked the Nugget up tonight - Toothed Belt Drive sounds absolutely awesome and definitely makes the car more responsive. John has removed the original sprung tensioner (it had been butchered by good old Jabba anyway) and replaced it with a simple tensioner bar. Works superbly and work will start soon on a prettier and permanent tensioner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works superbly and work will start soon on a prettier and permanent tensioner There allready readilly available for a very good price. we buy them in when required as not worth the time/cost in producing them ourselves. They should cost no more than about £50.00 even if you only buying one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woody 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Cant beat it, i have had the JMR tooth belt drive for about a year now and it always the first thing that people comment on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted October 19, 2005 yup, been running toothed belts for nearly 2 years now and the only problem was a chewed belt which happened when the car was in an accident... Sounds awesome and makes the power delivery sooooo instant... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
