I have no money or desire to fix it now. It'll get done first thing when snow melts.

So Sunday I finally got my lazy ass in gear and pulled my battery out for winter like 6 weeks after I put it away lol. It was dead but I bought a new smart charger that has it all charged up now and is in trickle mode now. I hope it didn't nuke the battery like last year (been traveling for work the last 4 out of 5 weeks and just didn't have much time). Last year I never unhooked it and the battery died and could not be brought back and I had to buy a new one. I have the AMS small battery, which is not great for leaving hooked up over winter obviously.

So I also forgot I got these back before I put my car down for winter (stock OEM idler pulley's).

What do you guys think? Reuse? These are my original OEM ones, they are worn and my fingernail hits the grooves but not too terrible. But I am not sure what bad ones look like. Obviously I need to something about my serp belt problems and seeing as how the pulley's were changed and now I am having problems I am considering going back to the OEM ones.

Just get new OEM ones, I should probably consider changing mine when I replace my acc belt this spring (it's about due).

That was one thing I considered. Maybe I should just do that, I know that will work fine. I guess I will see what pricing is like on them.

Can I get an overlay Scheides or another person who is an overlay wizard? Shane couldn't find my old FPblack dynos in the database when I was at DB last so I never got them. I don't think I ever got one for my two setups and was just curious on how my 2.2L works compared to my 2.0L. Sorry bored at work :)

When batteries die and are left out in freezing wheather, they freeze and get destroyed on the inside. Hopefully this mild winter didn't ruin your AMS battery and it will hold a charge.

Next time just disconnect the negative terminal, takes all of 30 seconds...

^I know, I forgot last year, was as simple as that.

I disconnected it this year and pulled it out. It's been on my new tender in my basement all year.

That technically wasn't my final tune though, it had breakup up top. But close enough, lol. I thought I did it but fail at looking.

Sorry to disturb :D

Honestly my personal favorite update to this thread:

No more car payment on the evo! Thank you tax return. Now I won't feel like a dbag for having a car payment and modding at the same time...feels real good.

As there is no snow i have thought lots about the car lately.

I am in the process of putting an order through MAP right now. As of right now I am ordering a new OEM serp belt and Shawn and myself are going to look into that when it gets warm out. However, Shane commented on my brakes being really weak last time he had the car and I agreed after I drove it, I think its time for at least pads. 30k miles on stock evo pads seems pretty solid.

I REALLY want girodisc 2piece rotors for some rotational weight savings but that will have to wait. My plan is this:

Ferodo DS2500's
ATE Super Blue
AMS SS lines or technafit to save a few bucks

I think Scheides has this setup essentially, any thoughts? Mostly street driven car really.

The only other question is do you guys think my rotors should be alright or is that a maybe? Turn them maybe? Or am I stuck buying new ones?

Thanks for feedback!
