Whole point being I don't think it's anything you can't handle, weederr. Now make it happen already, I'm all set over here Cosworth!

So if ~15% is correct, that would put most stage 2 cars at about 288hp which is consistent with the graph Cosworth put up their website.

My first car didnt even have 57hp!

My first car only made 115 hp. God I loved that '85 Jeep Cherokee

it was a 45hp 1.0L vw polo


Only weighed about 800kg though so not all bad

Ah, well then the proportions were perfect haha

Coming up on 10k miles on my supercharger!

Matt@Cosworth per Cosworth's recommendations, is it necessary to change the belt at 10,000 miles? Mine seems perfectly fine.

[Matt@Cosworth]

If you're happy with the condition and its nots cracking or fraying at the edges keep it on there, I'd just keep a spare in the car and 9/16 long spanner so you can swop it out on the road if you have to

So its possible to slide the belt up under the A/C and Alternator pullies without removing the covers then....Thats good to know as I've put in a 10mm spanner in as well to do that.

On a different note, has anyone taken their stage 2.0 to the drag strip?

I've done a couple drags... but not on the strip. But I would like to know the times people get.

The reason it came up is because I was just hooning aorund with my mate in his Rouch Supercharger Mustang GT ~350WHP and he thinks mine is a tad quicker. He get high 12's at the strip.

I know the GT86 is not exactly a drag car, but it would be interesting to compare. I mean I would stuggle to get much below 14s I reckon on primacies! - new wheels in post.

I just got new wheels and tires. I need to test them out. The super sports I had before on stock wheels broke traction occasionally.

[ajc209]

Ive got 245 super sports going on mine.

Ohhhh those should be nice. I just stuck with 225/40-18 Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 all-seasons. They still grip very well, though. Probably should have gone with the 235's instead.

245 Hankook RS3 17x9 RPF1 work well. I also carry a 14mm and 10mm with an extra belt in the trunk

[weederr33]

Does anyone have a link or site that we can buy spare belts for our kits? I tried looking on the Gates website, but the belt for our kit is associated with multiple cars and engines...
