Well it happened like this; I was minding my own business tooling my way home when this little blue sports-car with a roll bar (i think?) pulls along side me at the light....

I'm not letting no little blue powder puff pull on me and then after kicking his *** and putting 3 lengths on him by 55 i slow down to give him a 30mph burnout salute

That is when the belt flew and the tensioner stop broke off as you can see in the pics.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that damn belt back on?

I had 3 pizzas and a double order of wings on the way (delivery) and there i was on the side of the road.

Luckily for me one of my brothers was in the hood and came to lend a little muscle, the 2 of us got that belt back on with a lot of effort and I made it home.

 

whoops!!! At least you won the race before it let go!

 

Was it worth it?

 

damn bill that sucks... didnt i hear something about magnuson having a new style non breaking tensioner ready to ship??

so when you got home where the pizza still hot lol...j/k

man some of my first track time i hit the rev limiter in the water box (dragster next to me, i couldn't hear ****) and my belt flew off and i broke my tensioner. The Breeze to the rescue! He kept saying the whole time, "you need electric fans, **** you have like NO room in here!" LMAO I have thrown a belt 3 times since. I have gotten pretty good at standing in my engine bay on the tensioner.

 

lmao, yeah I can see how having that clutch fan shroud would have made it near impossible

I guess I've lost my belt throwing cherry
I am happy with myself for getting it back on

 

I threw a belt on my turbo one time.........
