Car feels heavy 2 + crank pulley and belt

I spoke with Maladar about the heavy, bigger car feeling on my AW11 and his laconic answer was “drive faster”.

Damn ๐Ÿ˜€

I just realized that the Toda has 12 position adjustable dampening setting, which I can tinker with (More variables to test, argh) ๐Ÿ˜€

I cleaned my area a bit and then opened the tensioner pulley nut on the spare engine to check the part number on the supercharger belt. I noticed how the tensioner was at the other end of the rail (with absolutely minimum amount of adjustment space) and when I got the belt off the engine, I found out why. The belt said 5PK950, so the previous owned had used the original belt with the larger crank pulley!

Some googling and I found a article fromtwincam.org about the belt lengths. It seems that a little bit longer belt would do nicely with my oversized (165mm) pulley. Maybe a 5PK960? ๐Ÿ™‚

Send some pics! Cant wait to… Read more »

Have you done any 0-100 times yet :D? Would be interesting to see the difference with a before and after video! Today I finally did something to my AW11, I dyed the headliner and sunvisors black, it turned out really well! I’ll send ya some pics soon ๐Ÿ˜€
