The brakes will take a bit to notice the difference. I will put them to the test next weekend at autocross. Also should see the difference on my rims.

The VGS paid off instantly, from the moment I turned the key after the install. Schotze hasn't started that easy in a long time. She also got her pep back that she was missing, and I regained my confidence that the power will be there everytime I need it.

I should do much better this weekend at Bremerton!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to to Mike and Ed and Dave for their hard work, and special thanks to Ed and Noreen for putting up with us. 

Alice definitely got a little hair on her chest from the pulley.  It was noticeable from the start but was getting much better by the time I got home and the ecu settled in.  Anxious to see what happens today now that the entire system has had a chance to set, cool off and reset.  

I guess the next question is how long it will take tweety to get a ticket???????

Well, its been 17 hours now and still no ticket! Whew! 

Yes, I've still got that silly grin on my face too!  Yesterday, I had the joy of using my new set of balls.  A spiffed up civic filled with highschol boys drives up alongside me and starts getting excited over my car.  I'm stuck behind some car ahead of me going the speedlimit in the left hand lane (grrrr.) and I would like to go faster.  Sooo.....putting my foot to the floor, I pass the civic just enough to squeeze through the gap, leave them in my dust, and keep on flying!  Those poor boys couldn't catch up. Nothing quite like the pride of shocking those around me with the power of my car!

This could not have happened without all the help and very hard work of Mike, Ed, and Dave.  Thank you so much for everything you did for me and my baby.  Not only does she perform amazingly, but she looks great, especially with her bonnet off!

Nice Wayne maybe I was wrong about the gold brakes being too much.

Glad to hear that the Pulley Party was such a great success.  Unfortunately we were unable to participate as our Mini didn't exist yet - she wasn't delivered until June 29th!  Is there any interest in a second round to the Pulley Party for those of us with newly acquired cars or anyone who missed out on the first round?  We would definitely be interested.

 Yes there is one other at the moment wanting a pulley besides you. We need at least 5 to get the pulleys from Alta at a discount.
