fc pulley kit?

I'm not looking for a dual shaft or anything but just a replacement of the stock pulleys, specifically anodized aluminum ones. I was searching for one but could only find one on eBay for $350 :/

The ones on right now have some rust and I don't want them to eat at my belts. I saw a bunch for the FD but I heard those won't fit.. I also don't want to go the gilmer route

Thanks!

You might be better off looking for OEM parts if $350 is not within your budget.

RE Amemiya makes them, but it's around $800 through RHDjapan: RE Amemiya FC Kouki Pulley Kit Mazda FC3S

Yeah I was thinking that would be my only option, but I want something pretty hah. Oh, the life of a broke college student.

I think I'll just get OEM parts and then paint them, making sure that there isn't paint where the belt touches of course

Everything is that much better when you add a personal touch to it.

Then again, if you are friends with local machine shops, you could probably ask them to make a set for you, not sure how much that will be though. :\

I'm sure it'll be costly though.

I wish i could already turbo it, then i wouldnt mind the minor belt squealing from a gilmer belt kit since everything else is just louder.
