Gates Racing Belts For Sale--SOLD OUT!!

[Ether-D]

here is a small piece of words from a gates rep.

Another thing to consider is that the Gates racing belts are optimized for strength and durability in high horsepower and high torque applications. They are not optimized for other types of performance. So, if you put a racing belt on your vehicle and then you notice some timing belt noise, that is a compromise you might have to accept. We have heard complaints from some Audi/VW folks. An enthusiast will install one of our racing belts and then say that they get timing belt noise for the first 10 minutes until the drive gets up to temp. I remind these guys when I come into contact with them that the OE belt is optimized for all types of performance: power delivery, belt life, NVH control, cost, etc. When you buy a Gates racing product, you are buying something that is different from the OE construction and in some cases you will be sacrificing some of those optimized characteristics (most often NVH control and lower cost). Usually folks in the performance community understand this, but I just wanted to be above board. I’d say most of the time that noise complaints aren’t an issue

Maybe we will forget about our m20 tickytickytickyticky...

so i'm considering pulling the trigger.


buuuuut why is everyone buying 2..?

[dustyperez]

Its still gonna be a maintenance item. If your gonna keep your car any length of time you will need another. Kinda like when you get a case of oil and 2 filters at a time. So youre prepared :)
