Just got to tearing down my recently acquired eta (that I drove home 200 miles) and found the sticker on the fan shroud.

So, you drove it home kinda hoping it would pop so you could do a turbo stroker?

I like your style.

[mkcman17]

exactly, why waste a tow on a running car? head is getting tossed either way.

worst case; belt breaks, tow home, start build.

[FunfGan]

I wouldn't pay more than three fiddy.

Wtf its fine. Slap it back on there. Easily another three miles left in that thing.

Kinda looks like the one i pulled out of my Porsche, When i got the car the paper work said it was changed in 1996. Had a good 14 years under it and when i pulled it out i split it in half by just pulling on it

Spray it with plasti-dip. Definitely has another year in it.

I think mine was last changed in the 90s and I still daily drive it. Don't worry though guys, its just an eta so its no real loss if it dies.

[stamar]

what brand do you have?

living legend with the 15 year old belt, what brand is that?

and whats the brand of the one that is disintigrating at 8 years?

as ugly as that is, it probably would live a year or two.
