How the hell did you belt shred 3 times if your car is in good condition? I want to know how.
First time the 2" inlets were making contact with the power steering pulley and ate a belt
At the drag strip. Second time my ac compressor seized up making the belt shred. The third time was because when this mechanic had to drop my subframe to do the oil pan gasket job a second time, he didn't bother to double check his work. I found out the cause was the power steering metal line was kinked and moved over making contact with one of the belt/pully. I make sure to keep the front inlet zip tied to the fan shroud so it won't make any sort of contact.
