WELL Happy they were open on a sunday and supplied me with a new lightened crankshaft pulley for 76 pound,i highly recomend em and they do other bits for scoobys aswell,they are based in rochester kent so give em a try.

 

I would be interested to know if you think it makes much difference when you fit it.

Is your car a classic or newage?

 

its a classic and the weight differance in pullys is quit a lot,id recomend them pullys and u can have em in blue,gold,black and other colours aswell

 

thanks mate

 

ill be coming back for alternator and power steering pulleys aswell

 

How difficult was it/are they to fit?

 

really easy remove alternator and power stearing belts then,put car in 1 st gear get a 22ml socket on a bar and undo pulley then slide old pulley of and replace with new,if u are localish to me i can help u swap the pulleys.

 

would also like to know the difference in driving car. does the car want to rev up quicker with less effort?

 

I'd be interested in this as well as would like to see difference, as wanting to get as much out of mine as poss with what i have

 

I have a set of 4 CDF lightweight pulleys fitted and they do make quite a difference to the engine performance.

The crankshaft pulley makes the biggest difference, in fact I belive that with the weight saving on just this pulley it is like removing around 90kgs of unsprung weight from the car (there is a theory to it but can't remember what it is).

The revs pick up a lot quicker than when using the standard pulleys and it is really noticeable on the road. The finish is brilliant and for what they cost they are one of the cheapest and most effective modifications you can do to an Impreza.

 

thanks for reply mate. is there any to avoid out there?

 

As long as you go for CDF pulleys you won't go wrong, I haven't tried any others but I can tell you that the CDF ones are very well made and outstanding value for money.

 

think i will have to get meself some in the near future. thanks for info mate

 

4?? Which ones do they replace,and are they all simple to do........i thought some meant the cambelt had to come off?

 

Have you got any prices (mines also a classic) for these?

Would there be any chance of a Group Buy ?

 

I had all the belts inc timing belt done at the same time, from memory it was crankshaft, alternator, air con idler pulley and the pulley (can't remember what to call it) on the o/s of the engine. The alternator is the worst one to do as you have to remove the alternator, use an airgun or similar to loosen the nut.

 

Prices are £155 delivered for members. This is the three piece kit .
Crank,alternator and powersteering - made to suit each model.

We do the fourth pulley which sits under the aircon which is £25 - this is the aircon tensioner pulley

I have most of these in stock in Blue,black,red,orange,green and sliver. Unfortunatly we don't run group buys on them as we have too many dealers for them in the Uk and it will mess up our trade orders.

However, the price is very good compared to other brands - ours are the only pulleys the usa rally teams use on there cars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YedWNZvpx2I

 

i will recomend ive been out in mine tonitee and done a 100 mile trip and it seems more responsive and revs easier

 

Phoned up and ordered mine this morning and being couriered over night because my cars in the garage tomorrow having the Whiteline Front Droplinks,Whiteline ALK,Godspeed Front Disc's,Bluestuff Pads,Hel Brake Lines,Brake Fluid,Tegiwa Brake Stopper,CDF Intercooler Tilt Kit,Intercooler Hose and STI V6 Front Spoiler fitted..............so may as well have the Crank Pulley done at the same time !!


I thought buying a car already modified would be cheaper ?
