Cha right...the weather sucks 75% of the time! ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
No, I never really ran the C2, just rebuilt it with abec-7 bearings. I'm using the C1 because I bought ceramic bearings... They are basically the same unit just a slightly smaller compressor wheel and outlet on the C1.
So get this, yesterday running errands I heard a very weird noise come from the engine bay....Kept listening, it got really loud then just quit after 10seconds or so. I pop the hood and low and behold the S/C belt walked off one of the pulleys causing it to get tangled on the crank pulley and shred into a million pieces. LOL I'm guessing it walked due to slip and wear from uninstalling and installing it over a dozen times trying different pulleys. I was going to replace that belt but figured a few more days would be OK. It was a pretty ugly sight as rubber black pieces and particles were all over my air filter and lower engine parts.
Oh well, I have two new Gates belts on the way and will not be playing around so much with them.
PS: the car drives pretty well with the intercooler piping and no s/c spinning!

Small world..we very well could have met. Did you ever drive up to Buscher Racing for a tuning session when we flew Tim Bailey in?? Trying to think...I had a wrb STi around 2005 with tons of mods and a fmic.

Those wheels rock! You're going to have to narrow and tub your rear end to fit 'em in there!
Nice work with the SC so far, I just want to get back all of the performance I've lost moving up here to the mountains.
