Mark, i must have missed this post, i made my own :D . I haven't stopped smiling since i bought the car from you, and i still baby it. Now only if i could get around to putting on my MP inlet and BBK TB, the MAF is already on. School is taking up too much time and that damn idler pulley hits the AC pump :mad: . I'll get around to it soon.

BTW, I am constantly asked if this car is a garage kept weekend driver...no one really believes that it has 100,000 miles on it. I like to keep it clean.

I used to have people pull up to me and ask where did you get it painted? They can`t beleave its factory but if you use a clean rag every time you wipe it you dont get that swerl in tha paint. Here is what I did with the ideler to the blower. I used the larger one from the main belt to take up the differance when I had a 10% pully on it. I ran the car 3 times with it and took it off. Made the car faster when cold but slower when hot. I used a stock 89-93 pully whitch is like a 4% pully but did not switch the idler pully back so that might be your problem. Still without a car as I can`t get the dodge dealer to come down on a 6.1 HEMI charger. Seems there is a waiting list on these but I still can`t afford it anyway as it more that my morgage on my house :eek: Looks like my old LX is the better deal for now. Any one want to tade a car for a kid? 2 to choose from. JK but it sounded good. Take care, Mark

Yea, i'm just trying to install my MP plenum and i can't get the belt off because i can't release all of the tension. If i'm correct, i beleive that is a replacement steel idler pulley, which i hear is bigger than the original plastic pulleys. Ehhh...i'll get it off somehow, an extra set of hands will help.

Anyway, i have been asked many times where the car has been painted. Earlier this summer, i washed it with dawn, claybarred, rewashed with dawn, Meguiars gold class paste waxed it twice, then used Meguairs gold class spray wax, and finished up with some meguairs gold class spray detailer....that is the best i've ever seen the car look...clay barring works wonders. The front page pic was taken after a quick hand wash/ meguairs gold spray wax.
