Re: Which CAI should I buy??

No increase in horsepower with the Alta? I was told it would. I have the Alta pulley that will be intsalled this summer with a Detroit Tuned tensioner stop. I actually think I'll buy the Alta just because I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Which CAI should I buy??

Which intake would you recommend for me? I'm looking at the Alta Performance intake. Also looked into the Cravenspeed, M7, DDMworks, etc. Which would you recommend?? Please hurry as there is a 12% discount at Alta right now.

Re: Underdrive Pulley

My two-piece Alta Performance V2 15% Pulley arrived today. Love it. Plus if I want to go to an Alta 16 or 17% later, it's an easy upgrade.

Damn. I would have loved to go. Just put Oliver's new shoes on yesterday. He looks good. Unfortunately, I'm moving furniture. Oh well.

Re: Underdrive Pulley

I don't think the pulley itself will be the problem i'm sure very small number of those fail or cause problems but the Alta tensioner stop looks like it will make more noise than this one , not that the alta is a bad product just seems to be people's preference to go with WAY due to noise/rattle.

Re: Underdrive Pulley

Um it's a bit late now. I went with what a friend told me was good. I believe he has it on his car. If it turns out back, well then lesson learned. I don't think that will be the case though.

Underdrive Pulley

I just bought an Alta Performance 15% pulley. It's the kit that comes with the tensioner and the belt. They had it on the Alta site for $177 plus shipping. I bought it on ebay unopened for $175 shipped.

License plate light lense

Ok, was changing the bulb, broke the lense removing it. Bought a new lense, installed it and now it doesn't fit right. Any ideas? It presses up against the bulb which I don't understand.

Re: Loose Shift Knob

It doesn't spin completely around but I'm terrified I'll break it if I try to remove it myself. It's a bit chipped around the edge on top so I may want to replace it anyway. I'll keep you all posted.

I can't seem to find this on NAM. Does anyone know how to tighten the shift knob or has the link to NAM for that? It's getting annoying when I shift and the knob twists.
