Stupid tension pully!

Just thought you guys would like to hear about another case of embarasment by the RX-7....


I was driving down one of the main roads in town, and my PS belts tensioner pully decides to go up and ape **** on me, and just lock up! Made a lovely screaching noise, and burning smell. But after about 15 seconds or so, the melted rubber off of the belt acted like lubrication, and shut it up.


I feel the RX-7 love......

Not stupid - just worn out.

I kept the extras from my J-spec swap just in case.
