Re: ~$50 Ebay underdrive pulleys OK?

I recently installed a Cosmo UDP on my k8 car as my crank pulley frisbeed half of itself off!
I have been running it for 2 weeks. No bearings have exploded yet... I can quite honestly say I have noticed the difference. It's more responsive for sure, my highly inaccurate stopwatch 0-60 indicates maybe half second+ gain*. Also the car seemed more keen to shred my tires throughout 1st gear, which is where you really notice it (and a bit in second).
I wrote a guide on my UK local forum http://www.uk-mx3.com//forum/viewtopic.php?t=1128 Shows what parts you what parts you have to cut off.
*maybe suffering from a placebo effect![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
