lex2oos how do you adjust belt? I dont see tension pulley anywhere...
The very 'crude' way - Undo supercharger bolts , prise up with a bar/large screw driver, slide in washers/spacers, redo supercharger bolts. Im expecting the belt to stretch/snap to be honest :lol:
I did buy a tension pulley intending to fit it, but ran out of space - afew people may be able to tell my S/C sits further forward than the TTE kit, because the pulley I got sits further forward.
Its all trial and error I suppose!!

Rabster hat off to you mate looks great do you have the measurements for the cradle ?
Thanks, and I dont have the cradle measurements im afraid - i just looked at pictures of the TTE cradle and tried to copy to the best I could - at first glance it probably looks the same, but it is quite different to be honest.
Since it has stopped raining, I thought I'd get afew more pics. Like Ive said before, its abit rough at the moment, but it will be made tidy in the next month or so - I already have a new air filter and engine cover to go on.

It is also wedged onto the standard plastic battery cover/cage, so it cant move anywhere, whats normally the problem with them?
And i'll be at Trax on Sunday, I can't remember what club stand i'll be on, I'm just jumping on one with my mate in his Civic and my bro in his 200SX
Battery cover is ally - its been on for around 2 years now with no problems, theres a far size gap between the + terminal and the cover, with tape on the cover and normally a cover over the + terminal (which is in the boot at the moment)
