For the guys that track a lot, it wouldn't be a bad idea to inspect them immediately and replace them with the metal Hyundai versions.

Thanks for that. Seems like a worthwhile mod.

 

Man did they cheap out on this car or what

 

Good find. That s&*t is crazy.

 

Mitsu needs to get past their new found love for plastic.

 

I had a thread that not too many read or posted on with this problem.

I didn´t do any street racing, just a couple drags at the track (literally 2) and some spirited driving. I went to do the 48000km service where you change the belt and couldnt get a new belt to stay on due to the pulleys being warn.

I was going to get my uncle to fabricate me some aluminum ones on his lathe but this might be a much more conveinent solution. Havent read the link but I hope they arent too heavy. And can work with the balance of the other pulleys.

 

great find! f'n mitsu and there cutting more corners on the X...
