You're welcome mate. Personally, my favorite 3 wheel sets on these cars are: Workmeister s1's, TE37's or FR500's. They just suit the car, they're not over the top or flamboyant, they're all classy. And personally (I know there are many who agree and many who disagree) for a daily I would not spend a whole lot of money on the wheels as they're going to be so susceptible to nicking and chipping etc.... Size matters, tires matter more. It all depends on the look you're going for mate. If you want shiny, the chromed S1's look sweet and so do the FR's but the TE's would be too much.

Definitely. I have that picture saved as the album cover on my Workmeister Wheels on SC's album. I have FR's on mine and if the color is matched nicely, tires appropriately chosen, the brakes provide a good back drop and they're the right size they look really classy yet aftermarket. But I understand not liking them because I didn't at first.

So last thursday I had a little problem occur. Seems as if the notorious SC300 crank pulley let go on me... free spinning. So I jumped on Driftmotion and ordered the Underdrive pulley kit and belt, along with a couple extra goodies.

Got the pulley kit, and started to do some research just to see some feedback on the kit.. Most people were saying if your making any decent power stay away from the crank pulley.

So thursday I called Victor at Induction Performance, He was reccomending the Titan Motorsports ATI Super Damper... Gave me one hell of a deal and was able to overnight it for me to get this thing back on the road... Couple hours later we have this....


Sorry for the crappy pics... For some reason they will not upload here at work so ill get some better ones later.
