Thread: Belts Away!!

  1. #1

    Default Belts Away!!

    Get home from Stupid Jimmie's Autocross walk inside and promptly fall asleep on the couch. So everything seems normal.
    Go to Start up Vivid and get a strange ticking and flapping noise under the hood. Shut it down immediately pop the hood and ask the Mice WTF is going on in here!

    Oil Level was fine and no obvious signs of failure so I fire it back up and grab my trusty flashlight and I see most of my alternator belt and its sort of dancing about on the pulleys...

    Checked all the bolts nothing had worked loose all pulleys appear to still be in alignment. Guess it was just time for that belt.

    Don't forget to check your belts kids.

    Since Stupid Jimmie didn't design the course I guess I can't blame it on poor course design......

    But that stupid last stretch with all sea of cones nonsense before the finish may have done her in.....
