took her down to gwerks today, found out supercharger belt was dodgy and all cracked on each of the teeth, causing it to snap!! also going to have cambelt tensioner replaced. saw my stock bumpers in the sprayshop, looking good! having the sideskirts taken off and smoothed over, due to a bit of rust underneath!!! should all be ready for pickup on thursday, YAY !! :thumbleft:

My toothed belt had a very similar problem to yours mate, due to the tension being to tight maybe?? darren fitted one of his solid tensioners! they work a treat!! just the right amount of tension can be applied without it being too tight.

 

I went through 3 belts with the dampered tensioner.... so didnt have much trust in that setup

 

With the solid tensioner the belt still looks like new and thats almost 2 months since it was fitted.

 

Defo reccomend anyone with a toothed belt to get one fitted, quite cheap aswell, specially when you consider a new belt is £15 a time.. 8)

-------UPDATE-------

 

its back from gwerks after having belt problems, had standard VR6 bumpers put on and sills smoothed after we found out they were rusty and going a little bit rotten under the sideskirts!!! and had it mopped!! looks like glass now, just a pity that the alternator has packed up!! so i dont know her full potential yet, but thats being sorted for this weekend...Yay!!

 

anyway heres some pics, havent washed it yet (still a bit dusty) but she looks like glass!! well chuffed, dont think ill be buying that storm now...
