You can specificy the color of your kit during the ordering process. Be sure to keep an eye out for a field that asks you...
COLOR: Red or Graphite Gray? ... Enter RED!!!

Thank you for your interest in our site and products, we certainly do appreciate it!!!

Just installed it on my automatic LX and it looks good. I got the K060760 Belt and it is one rib short and I'm kinda worried it might slip or something...that's my main concern right now. I didn't get a chance to drive it around yet but I could feel better throttle response for sure. You wont notice HP gains if you have intake and exhaust but I'm sure they're there. I only drove for 3 minutes with the pulleys so I'll post something up later on.

what do u mean by throtle responce?

o n im still waiting on mine 2 come in

WiseGuyLX · 05-09-2008, 01:34 AM

how fast power output respond to your gas pedal. If you step on it hard, the car responds quicker and better instead of that lag that exists. Pulleys makes that lag gap closer.

dp. · 05-09-2008, 03:35 AM

Anyone experience noticeable or dramatic difference in gas mileage/fuel economy with the pulleys installed (e.g. specific increase in mpg)?

Show Stoppa FG1 · 05-09-2008, 10:46 PM

do the rpm's go up quicker also? cause with the r18 motor, there is no bottom end what so ever

WiseGuyLX · 05-10-2008, 03:28 AM

yeah it does go up quicker (the car naturally shifts around 3.5k - 4k) and also there's more power when you accelerate. The car is least likely to downshift now if you need to speed up which makes driving a lot smoother.

That would be bad then. You would want the car to downshift if you were wanting to accelerate. But I guess that depends on how quick you want to get to a desired speed.

WiseGuyLX · 05-10-2008, 03:43 AM

yeah sorry I didn't make myself clear lol. Let's say I'm going 35 mph and I want to hit 40mph to keep up with traffic on the street. Before, my car would have to down shift, catch up to 40 then shift again and it's just jerky and probably waste of gas if the transmission is just going to go through all that for that extra 5mph. The car still does that but much less. Instead it stays in that gear and pulls my car to 40 probably faster than it downshifting... Auto tranny kinda makes me frustrated sometime lol.

mO 64 StAnG 06 · 05-10-2008, 03:47 AM

^ Ah ok that makes sense.

Didn't think anyone was still up but me.

WiseGuyLX · 05-10-2008, 03:50 AM

lol yea can't sleep.

mO 64 StAnG 06 · 05-10-2008, 03:53 AM

Dude I wish I lived where you did. There's gotta be a shit load of things to do over there. If it wasn't for the outrageous pricing there I would almost hitchhike my way there and camp out at Haight/Ashbury and start a revolution!

WiseGuyLX · 05-10-2008, 04:03 AM

lol yea theres a lot of things to do here. i'm just too lazy to go do them. instead i'm on 8thcivic

mO 64 StAnG 06 · 05-10-2008, 04:06 AM

Hah, I just got home and did one. And that was get on the 8th. lol so I know what you mean...

How did the install go for you?

And about the belt, don't worry about it bro. The one that does fit perfectly is a belt that was discontinued. You wont find that anywhere, or atleast I couldn't. But the one you have which we all have, (If you have the pulleys), is fine. I check mine everyonce and a while and noticed no problems.

WiseGuyLX · 05-10-2008, 04:47 AM

install was done by a mechanic at a local shop for like 50 bucks and I asked if I could stay and watch. It seems relatively simple, but I think it would be a lot easier if I had a lift and a 10 ft breaker bar he used to break the crank bolt off.

***Zeuceone*** · 05-10-2008, 04:49 AM

i need to install my pulleys.
