Remember to write down the info on the new belts, and maybe even get spares.  If you break a belt away from home, you could be SOL since they're not stock belts. _____________________________ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life 1998 Accord Coupe EX 4 cyl. / MT AEM CAI & Tru Power Pulleys DC Sports header (ceramic) Thermal cat-back Neuspeed strut bar ''''''''''''''''04 TL rear sway bar AMR Engineering coi (in reply to srpowersuw) Post #: 2

If you want to free up about 4 HP and keep your charging system at its full potential then take the belt off of the power steering pump. Power gain, no wasted money on pulleys, and your battery stays charged. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to peter4jc) Post #: 3
