Its the journey, not the destination. Applies equally well to off-roading as it does for life.

Number 1 and the other 9 are for crap.

It's not self-adjusting. The only thing I had to fiddle with is position to get the belt to track correctly. The teeth are on the tensioner to hold it in position while you tighten the nut on the back of it so you don't have to hold it AND tighten it at the same time.

This thing is the cats ass. It's the coolest thing on my car. It's the only thing that currently works. I'd love to have a shot at it so I could give it as a gift to a very near and dear buddy of mine. Since he's not a STF'er, screw him. One of you deserve it more.

Is this a standard pulley or a sand seal pulley version?

It has a 5 rib pulley belt, which is nice, but where do you buy replacements to add to the spare parts pack?

It's a 4 rib belt. Part number on mine is 370K-4

It's not a one of a kind belt. It's used on foreign and domestic cars.

It may just be my imagination, but I think my motor runs a little smoother than before.

I'm in, but getting that on a T4 might be a bit of a challenge
