Friction from the belt means they are bound to heat up a bit.

There's a few, you have CDF racing, RCM, lateral. Scoobyworld, many more just can't think.

I got lucky on eBay. As a set is about 180 ish.

Yes, they get hot, they are in contact with various engine parts and friction as Alan says.

Mine were £120, underdriven.

Can i ask please, what difference have you noticed after fitting these, do they help with the revs coming down quicker? as i find my td04 tends to creep a lot before it drops which is very anoying..
