Project 99 GSX AKA "MN3Y PIT"

[JustinG]

just an update, nothin cool just some broken shit.

So, coming home one evening from the mall, i start to hear a loud thwaping noise, i think goodspeed is in my back seat taking care of business :evileye: . But to my surprise Goodspeed isnt back there :dunno: ?!?!?!?!. Then the noise stops and then it gets progressively louder, i realize its on the Accessory belts side of the engine, then i lose oil pressure, im not worried because the OP gauge has a flimsy wire attached to it sending the signal and i assume it is knocked off by whatever was thwapping about, + no idiot light and car is running fine, I think its the inner fender cover lose hitting on the pulley or something. Get home 5 minutes after said noise. pop the hood, nothing weird. Jack up the car, and WTF, AC belt is off the Crank/Harmonic Dampner pulley. And it is eating into my timing cover. So no biggy, assume it just jumped off. Because im tired its like 11pm on a friday night, ill fix it tomorrow. Get a new belt, go to put it on, and realize the Alt belt is missing 2 of 5 ribs. WTF, get another belt, go to put it on and just decide to look everything over. Notice the crank pulley is off alignment, closer to the wheel well than it should be............... hock: :vomit: OOOO NOES, I GOTS DA CRANK WALK!!!!!!!!! Decide to check the pulley, and THUNK!!!!! Damn outer ring falls off in my hand.





OK so no big deal, no Crank walk, whew. Order new OEM pulley from JNZ tuning, they dont have one in stock but call their local mitsu dealer and have them shipe it to me for their price, awesome. Open the box today and WTF!!!! One of the lips is chipped on the pulley.



But no little chip......


Email sent, well see how fast they can get me one here, hopefully by friday.

What the pulley is suppose to look like....


CARNAGE PICS.........




Been out of a car for 6 days now. Bright Idea for Mitsu to make a pulley in a high heat turbo car, that is held together by rubber.This experience is making me realize I really really need a DD. Especially with the car getting at 98k and just beating on it at AutoX, stuff tends to break easier with that mileage and abuse.
