on a side note, you joined the forum a day before me lol weiiiiiiird, illuminati confirmed
Seemingly so. :| Only just in the last week saw another guy on the FB group who basically had the same thing. Didn't think mine was gonna be the same at the time, but in retrospect it explains the previous new pulley didn't last.

Aw yis, one day advantage. :lol:

We've just had to get a new crank pulley for Rowans car due to the keyway being damaged.

Seems to be much more common that I first thought...

Should have replaced this aaages ago. What a difference the stock shifter (on left) makes. No more clunking (that I could tell from a short drive) and I can actually get into reverse without dislocating my shoulder.

Going to stick the GPX boot back on this afternoon, so went out for a therapeutic thrash through the hills and to take a few snaps after putting the new alternator belt on beforehand.

Need to roll the front guards, and get some nuts and hubcentric rings to suit before I slap em on. Still some life left in the Toyos, almost tempted to keep them on and make it to a track day so I can get some use out of them.

Getting coilovers adjusted up a little tomorrow, 003s swapped over and a wheel alignment with some much needed camber. Don't think I'll fit in the guard rolling, but that'll definitely need to happen too. :lol:
