leave my house at 4:30 to meet up with the rancho guys.. and one of my altenator belts says f you.. so im on one belt which is a lil too think and squels, and im not putting out 12volts exactly.. Ive had bad experiences with altenator belts going out on my prior vehicles so i dont wanna chance this drive.. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

 

damn did you make it though?

 

didnt go.. =(
solved a few issues with my car though.

 

damn we wwere wondering where u were!!!

 

sucks monkey *****!

 

Shoulda come anyway you could have rolled with the other squeeky belt fc

 

damn thats fuckign gay bro,,

 

hahah . well i went home and slept.. Auto stores open at 8am. a friend called and convinced me "dude just go" and its after 9am. I limp on the freeway.. snap goes my 1 alt belt *they where mismatched*.. i get to the auto store, buy what i think would work.. nope too small.. and they didnt have any other solutions, walked accross the block to kragens.. got 2 belts.. put em on.. Drove home... it was about 12ish by then.. My power steering belt decides to join the party lol.. *it got messed up from teh alt belts hitting it*. Figured id check out some other issues with the car *hesitation when cornering*.. and replaced the fuel pump sock as well..

So out of this, i replaced all belts and fuel pump sock.. but now shes one happy FC lol tho she didnt get to meet any friends today hahah
I really wanted to show up early so i can park inside and show off too.. wasnt really thrilled with the idea of coming late and parking outside.

 

dont worry man,i started a SStock pic thread for the peeps that missed out....

 

same thing happened to me... only input random ground short while driving = no power to ecu.


i think i got it sorted out.. but didn't go.

 

It's okay Austin next year you and Evan can drive your Fc's to 7stock for the first time.

 

Travis what up...

Man that sucks to hear...my belts were hella squeaky too whenever I took off. Wacky's brother in law Richie actually hooked me up with a new Alternator belt at the event ....that was love right there.

 

yeah dude your car could get dirty!

this almost happened to me, I caught it before they failed completely. when the break apart and you've got the stock fan / shroud ... what a mess!

 

Yea mine are geting worse I need to not be lazy and change em. I hear it a t 3k now in like 2ed

 

hey guys, need some advice here on my 88 rx7. my altenator belt went out last night, snapped in half from being cracked and dry. no mess, no problem.
so i buy a new one and get started on removing the other belts to get the altenator belt replaced. its seems like i would need to remove the actual pulley because i can't fit the new belt through or between the two front pulleys. they are too close together! any suggestions? do i remove the fan shroud, the fan and pulley? 1/4 of an inch more space and it would slide right through. HELP

 

Sounds like a bad 24 hours...that sucks

 

ok i figured it out. it was so easy! i feel like a noob for sure but i kinda am still with my car. i just put the belt on the right way, around the pulley its supposed to be on! lesson learnded.

 

holy thread revival look at the date guys 2008

 

The perils of "search" when you don't check the dates on the results, heh.
