MrTris Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I paid 200 for my 100,000 mile 04 STI cams lol. I wanted as much new as I could get though. That's where I was at, too - I think I talked him down to $150. Mine were technically fine, but, I bought a set from a local guy on NASIOC who has a heavily modded 05. The cams are identical, btw, between 05 STi and 05 LGT. The difference was that his motor was well-maintained and had the oil changed regularly, whereas mine was all kinds of burnish colored on the inside from some pretty significant neglect. A couple of runs through the parts washer at work and they looked WAY better than my original ones. Plus, I get to say I gots STi parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooTBeeR Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 well I just dont want it to physically fail or cause belt issues. I figured that since i have a fluid filled tq converter weighing quite a bit, that going with the lightest pulley wasnt going to hurt me.

I figured that since i have a fluid filled tq converter weighing quite a bit, that going with the lightest pulley wasnt going to hurt me. Your head was in the right place, for sure. But then again, I've been told that I'm "on my own" if I want to install a LWCP -- PIA doesn't advocate, sell, or install them. The example I saw was an Agency Power LWCP and the bolt went in on a raised portion of the pulley. That raised portion cracked and broke at all 5(?)-ish sections where it attached to the rest of the pulley. I was told that that's the reason why they don't use them. When that shit fails, your motor goes kaboom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
