oh man that makes me shiver. ebay = questionable. Questionable = keep it away from my ride. RRM offers a bada$$ pulley that I stand by, and use on my Lancer, I wouldnt go any other way. Its only what, $100? Money well spent if i do say so myself.

If it is not big of difference (probably quality differences) i would go with ebay pulley but if there is major defference i rather spent more money for real one that last

i doubt they'd send you the right size belts--if they sent you belts at all. for an underdrive pulley you need different size belts. for a regular pulley (like RRM's) you can use the belts on your car as is.

i have the RRM pulley on my car and i am very happy with it.

Never heard of EAUTORAING.We can't comment on quality b/c from looking at this "companies" feedback they have sold different generic Ebay car parts for different car manufacturers (Ford, Chevy, BMW, Acura, etc.).

Just be cautious when ordering stuff off Ebay from a "company" that you never heard of selling a product that isn't a brand name and doesn't have a track record at all.

Take some of your own advice

Expensive parts are not always good but itz better than wasting money on cheap non-usable part. And when you buy parts, buy it right first time even it is expensive!!! Good rated parts can be also easily sold compare to knock off parts!!!

yeah I think comatose had an unorthadox racing pulley from a mirage.

Really there is some good stuff on ebay but I dont take chances on my engine. I got my headlights and tails from ebay, but they were a good brand - Depo.

yea there are definately ups and downs when buyin off ebay...i bought a front strut bar a few months ago and when i got it, it didnt even fit!!! the bar ended up goin across the throttle body. so you should really do some research, especially when it comes to getting parts for your engine/tranny.

A reason not to buy it: Increase horse power (5-8 more)

If the seller doesn't know what he's talking about, then you shouldn't buy it.

i bought a generic brand UDP off of ebay before it was confirmed that the pulley would work without any durastic negative effects on the car. after running that pulley for a few weeks i picked up a Unorthodox UDP and slapped that on the the car; too sum things up - THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE!!! both pulleys weighed the same, looked, and performed identically.

i am a firm believer in the whole "you get what you pay for" and i am sure that the Unorthodox pulley would hold up better under impact (or any other happening that would put the craftsmanship in question) but the likely-hood of encountering such a scenario is slim-to-none...and if you are in that situation i question whether the condition of your crank pulley is really your biggest concern after crushing your oil pan and the entire under-body of the vehicle on the ground
