eh

seriously, sounds like youve got aircon like i have.

ive cut off my belt though as i never used it. saps power from your engine when you have it running, and puts more pressure on your clutch when accelerating through gears hard, or so i found.

wouldnt have thought "it goes like ****" without it though. not that much difference

the theory behind this is that it removes inertia or drag put on the engine by systems like aircon. The less belts/moving parts = the less friction = more power. This is only theory but i suppose it should work as its almost the same principle as underdrive/lightweight pulleys.
