Looking for interest in Crank Pulley Batch #2
I really hope RRM can keep the price down close to what was offered earlier. Maybe even an introductory sale price for a limited time offer to drive sales to those thinking of purchasing but not sure.

Damn if I hadn't been working all summer I would have seen this crank pulley madness going on, but I missed the height of it. Joe, how much do you think RRM's gonna have to raise the price? Maybe 20% increase?
Also, who has the RA with this mod with the most miles while the mod was on the car? I'm trying to persuade my parents that it won't affect the car negatively in the long run and I wanna be sure myself as well. Also, has anybody had any problems at ALL? Any slightly negative sideeffects? If the price is going up, I would still like to make the purchase, but I wanna make sure it's a good first mod and that it won't take away from anything. Thanks!

at least 20%! Think about taxes... just there you got a significant enuf increase... now add in the markup that RRM will add... I have a feeling its going to be much more expensive in the end. Still remains to be seen though, you never know with RRM..

Hey Joe, thanks for the outstanding job on the pullies! Next, why don't you make an engine damper (ala Weapon R) or a Master Cylinder Support Bar for the Ralliart? Other companies make these but not for our application.
Dre 8472,
I am sure you will be please witht he price once RRM has it. They will take care of you with a joint purchase as I believe right now the DP is on special for $259. The price will the pulley will go up although nothing crazy. There is an EVO shop that sells a belt and a very similar EVO pulley for $179...ouch, and people buy them. A 20% increase is not that bad and there may be an introductory price offer to all, i am sure RRM is considering this. If I was to resell there was going to be around a 20% increase plus a compensation for those damn Paypal fees.
ROCK,
Thank you for making a statement about my efforts in public, it makes me feel like i am not worthy...little tiny vendor getting a great mark from an awesome huge vendor. Ok, its cool...thanks!
PR_Mivec,
We talked about this...I will take care of this.
ralliart86,
Contact RRM to order. They should have pullies to ship sometime the week of 10-3.
otter,
My first beta tester...like Microsoft software except no crashes. How cool, I think we have logged 3900 miles or so on the pulley.

# 40 for RRM...they will take care of you.
Crazycal,
I am always looking for some new and different. There is someone working on a dampener already. I would rather wait and see. The pulley thing worked out great because I was at the right place at the right time and had the connection to get them made. It could not of happened any better for anoyone involved.
To all:
Any price increase is justified because RRM has a business to run, if they gave away parts they would not exist and then we would have no way to get parts for the RA. Their price will go up because they are buying less and the difference they are going up is the difference it costs them. No crazy markup here, they want to make people come back and price gouging will not do that. If I would have had to buy half as many pullies for this second batch I would have been charging around another 20% more. OR I would have sold it without a belt which may have dropped the price slightly although still not enough to justify you goimg and buying a belt. Be cool and go through RRM.

RRM has the pulley on their website for $119. This is a great price and nobody should hesitate to order. They should have them ready to ship on 9-28.
