for you, it would be the ideal mod. call up DHRacing and order one asap.... before they sell out. make sure you pay the full price too cuz none of the members are selling it.

Rep Power: 0 For what it's worth, I'm having a very difficult time getting DH Racing and Josh Truex to abide by contract with me. I offered a certain amount of advertising in exchange for product and a review, and it's been four months since I was told I would get it. Needless to say, their banner was stopped a long time ago.
I've sent one more email to Josh regarding this and then I take it further.

Sorry about your situation. Josh is not a man of his word, and Dave hates us and this website. Over 30 of us got screwed out of more than $5000 on pullies alone that are defective. They make false claims about their products and are willing to lie in order to make the sale. A member here is already going to court after the DH ported head caused thousands in damages to her car.

Rep Power: 0 Found out on thing though---- I'm rebuilding a D16z6 at school for my Engines 2 course, the crank pulley DOES NOT have a pressed rubber dampner like ours does, which makes me think our D!& pulley was more designed around the idea of the D16 instead of ours... I won't put on mine though, it just sits at testament to me of my many failures in my choices...just thought you all wanted to know that, but to someone who knows, why did that change and they put that rubber dampner in our D17 and not the D16?

I know this is a huge and old post now. I have a 96 civic, and i too bought one of these bogus pulleys. I think everyone that has been ripped off should go to this site and then file their own complaint report against DH Racing. Also if someone finds a lawyer count me in too. I lost $125 which is not a big deal, but the fact that they've screwed this many people over pisses me off, and something has got to be done about it. Here's the link to the BBB report for DH-Racing. http://www.labbb.org/scripts/cgiip.e...ID=1&hAddrID=1

Rep Power: 289 After having this pulley on for about 2 years now, I think I'm actually gaining MORE HP. 
Just kidding, the pulley has been off forever and DH can still go to hell.

There are other pulley's out there that are way better, I have been using one for 2 years now, and I am very happy with it, you had to buy new belt though.
