yep was the first that i know of to get a set and then the guy who made them for me started putting them for sale on trademe so i think quite a few people have them now :roll:

You shouldn't be allowed them unless you're running a supercharger or have carbys

thats the problem.

iv seen them run on turbo RBs, v8s etc, from what i understand they are just a pulley that minimise belt sliping.

it might help if someone gives an explanation why this is a problem? and i want facts not what youv heard or what your cousins mates mate heard. thanks

I think they are trying to say that fuel injected n/a engines (like 4ages and shit) arn't 'old school' enough to have gillies.
which is bullshit, gillies is mad pimp.

i think its just cos traditionally they are run on USA/aussie v8s that are carb'd and blown. people i guess are not used to seeing them on a non-blown efi small cube engine.

my opinion, looks good so why not, unless there is some specific performance issue why not to.

Oldschool cars have them because oldschool cars have blowers and normal belts dont have a hope of driving a huge ass blower without slipping.

Pretty stupid IMO having a 2" wide toothed gillmore drive going to alternator/ac pumps. LOL.

by **NOLAW** » Wed May 14, 2008 6:41 pm

why is it stupid? and if you could point out where there is an a/c pump in that picture that would be great. cheers

hahah mean gilmores i wouldnt run them but neither did i think about it either so pretty cool haha could confuse ppl with what motors in it to

by **NOLAW** » Thu May 15, 2008 10:47 am

cheers man, yeah i havent got them because i thought my motor was gonna be to much power for a standard belt, i just thought it would be something different and would sound cool..also looks cool too :wink:
