    Power Pulleys?

    Hey!, I need to change my belts next month or should I say next year... hehe! well, Im also thinking about changing to power pulleys at the same time also.

    Before I buy it, I want your opinions before I order.

    Guys can you please tell me the ups and downs on this upgrade and is this good for my car?

    My Cars Setup: 2003 Corolla S A/T "sux" with Tein Springs,Modified Intake Box with TRD filter and vortex generator, colder rating IK spark plugs, Standard size Touring Goodyear tires and Lower temp. thermostat for long distance driving. magnaflow catback on the way. hope i'll like it...

    Thanks for the advice.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think colder spark plugs will hurt performance if you don't have any engine mod at all (intake is not engine mod~ XD )

    If you have a stereo system in the car, a power pulley isn't going to help. If you do put one in, reground the engine. Maybe even get a higher amp alternator to replace the 80amp we have stock

    I think buying the TRD Engine Cover is just wasting $$$, it doesn't looks good at all if you don't have the TRD supercharger installed.
    Don't get SRI, use your $200 to get a CAI man. :)

    Magnaflow is good, but it's all depends on which model you get. The one I have on my car sounds really nice and not too loud. :)

    I have a SIMOTA CAI for $30 (they said I got ripped of for that price:) from taiwan with the Fujita filter and vortex generator... Its nice on summers but notice no difference with the OE intake when its cold plus It sucks having an A/T. also I did get some knocks after a minute when I drive on some puddles... turns out its choking (sorta)... it doesnt have that leather thing on it like my neighbors VW GTi.

    Im getting an Magnaflow Exhaust... I hope it sounds like an R32, not ricey or (farty) like Civics
