even keith84_uk read some stuff but they still what to do it.
for me I think I will leave it as it is
if mod the pulley you have to mod alot of stuff on the engine to keep it strong and not fall apart

yeah I have heard so many ppl say it is bad to lighten the pulley or to take some metal off the pulley.
even keith84_uk read some stuff but they still what to do it.

Think i will give it a miss

KC man, I tested a 323i before, it has some go, I would recommend some new alloys like yokohamas they look good in graphite, would spice up your car
Cheers

I reviewed and seem they all not only change the weight of that pulley , but also the ratio and size. Seem issue came from incorrect ratio and size. Please correct me if I am wrong.
BTW, I will be at AK47 on Monday afternoon to install the sway bars & the cables for the HID fog. Anyone want to come down for a chat, feel free.

Hi guys, after staring at my recently "whitened" angel eyes last night for sometime, I have decided to change it back to the original ones, the reflection tubes of my angel eyes seem to have oxidized or something, it is a little yellowish still even after I changed to the led version 
Anyone interested in those led lights?
