#1. Re: Underdrive Pulleys - from Jason Lombard

Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 09:01:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Jason Lombard <jrlombard@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: Underdrive Pulleys Gary, After doing my underdrive install about 3 months ago, I would wholeheartedly recommend this mod to anyone. I went with the Rogue units (I found their fit and finish to be the best of all the brands I looked at-- just my opinion). The power gains were perceptible, and I paired mine with the fan clutch eliminator mod as well. Since you're just underdriving the accessories, that still frees up the ability to run a lightweight flywheel if you so choose. I would definitely do it again if I had to do it all over...

There is plenty of room to SawzAll the old bushing flange from inside the wheel well. Than lower it just enough to attach the Victory bushing puller. When installing the new bushing, keep a close eye on how it will be pulled into the trailing arm. Both times my RTABs went in crooked and I had to back off the Victory tool and correct their orientation with a hammer (easy). > So what else do you need to do to drop the arm down? Removing the lower rear control arm will free the arm's movement further, but than you need to worry about re-aligning the car. I marked the RTAB bracket position before removal and upon reassembly, the car tracked perfectly straight. On an alignment wrack, I had just a touch too much toe in (IIRC, 0.25 instead of 0.15 +/- 0.05). It was close enough were I will not be realigning my wife's E36 after doing her RTABs. YMMV, alex f
