Congrats. Does the engine seem to RPM a little faster with the crank pulley?

Mainstreet Garage on Community Way in North Gower - Ken Baird is you man
I took mine there after I installed my D2 RS coilovers and all the Cusco bracing
He charged me 1.5 hrs it took longer but he had to stop and look after customers too - so around $150 or so
Fully computerized and he even lowered my fronts for me about another .75" while he was at it.

He was recommended to me by my friend in the MCO

Cheers
Ken

You guys have any engine sound? Sounds like lifters.. They say its the injectors. Not sure if I'm paranoid of giving up my warrantee or what but sounds a bit sketch...Paul please message me your # so I can listen to your cars whispers

Cool. I've been on the fence for a while about wether or not to get a pulley. How does the exhaust sound? Resonated version or not?

Sounds awesome... I have the borla unequal length headers to so essentially it sounds like a wrx with an exhaust. I went for the resonated since the headers are catless I didn't want it to be to loud... Nice deep boxer rumble under throttle and nearly silent when cruising

I remember hearing the header at the meet last month and it had a sweet sound even with the stock exhaust.

Just an FYI. Boston motorsports quoted me 139 US shipped USPS for the perrin pulley

Thanks Paul. I'm still undecided. The price isn't the problem. The stock one is built like a harmonic damper and that makes me leary of changing it out for a lighter one. I know that boxers are well balanced, and that Subi owners have been using lightweight pulleys for a long time, but I still can't get that nagging "don't do it" feeling out of the back of my mind.

Finally installed some interior Footwell lights. Bit of a hassle getting all the wiring done though. Anyone planning on a meet or drive any time soon?

brz2013 · 05-13-2013, 12:45 AM

I'm down for a meet/drive for whenever

I've seen reports of 5-7 whp gains. Feels like the torque dip at 4000rpm is lessened, but this could be the placebo effect! It does sound much nicer.

You guys have two ??
