Default Update: Turn2 Under pulley UN-installed... super torquiness seems to be gone!

I had previously posted my problem w/ the super sensitive torquiness of my car, and how it wasn't great to drive with in 2 hours of daily stop-n-go traffic. Well, I just got done with un-installing my underpulley, and "it seems" the problem is minimized now. I'll know for sure in my traffic commute tomorrow morning tho.

The car does seem to have lost some low end torque/pickup after un-installing, but I guess that's the trade-off. If I didn't have to drive in so much traffic everyday, I think this is a very worthwhile mod to keep. For the same reason, I also uninstalled my poly dog-bone bushings a few weeks ago: caused too much vibration in stop-n-go traffic..

My car already has more torque than most people, so i'll have to give-up on this mod... so if anyone's interested in buying mine, it's in perfect condition. =o)

Here's what it is:
