I worked in a parts store until a couple months ago. I know they had the gates belt still in stock.

sorry if i came off sounding like i know everything or that they dont make the belt (i didnt mean that at all)...i just meant that i looked at everyshop around me and could not find one to fit. I know its got to be out there as Turbovr6 said. Good luck tom!

I've seen problems with the water pump belt slipping when eleminating the airpump and keeping stock pullies. Spend the $100 or so on some pullies and do it right.

I agree. I don't want to cause heating problems at all. I bought the full set of Unorthodox but now I'm going to go with the combo. I just haven't seen the Greddy's in black. I don't want my engine bay to look like a two year old went crazy with crayons...lol

a 330 series belt should do the trick with the stock pullies

I finally bought the 300mm k4 belt that fit in perfectly and now my car's running great...i'm saving up to get the unorthodox pulley set. the set i saw is $425.00 damn that's alot..

No need to spend $ on a pulley, just grind the stock tension adjustment bracket to allow for a wider range of adjustment. It took me about 20minutes to grind and repaint.
