What to do with 130 bucks

Hey,

I've saved up around 130 dollars and was thinking maybe of a pulley change. I heard 3" is the best for performance and daily driving and you also don't need to get accompanying parts to make it work to its fullest. ANy suggestions are apprecitaed

I would buy a porno, KY, and a bottle of Sudafed. Watch the porno, drink the Sudafed, and see if you can finish jacking off before you fall asleep. Its a great game because you win no matter what.

check to see if you are getting any KR first... if you are getting any, a smaller pulley will only increase the amount your car gets... and then if you ge the pulley, check for KR after you put it on. Just a saftey measure.

ALSO. If you are like me and get money sparingly and cant get ahold of 1,000 in a short time..... I would take your money and buy transaxle mounts to stop wheelhop. or keep saving and get a clutch first. because if you get a pulley and then your clutch goes out..... and you dont have that 1k to get it replaced you are fucked.... Im getting the clutch first.... then goin ***** out!

Just a thought....

then he will need supportings mods to go with that smaller pulley........

but in all seriousness if you want to spend the 130. get the mounts because that wont increase the chance of your clutch ******* up like the 3.0 pulley will. and if you get just the 3.0 you will still have wheelhop without the mounts or an engine dampener.
