Well i finally received my "overnight part from Japan" a couple months later. Just in time i might add. My spot welded pully was starting to separate and was making an annoying noise rubbing against the timing cover.

Wow I’m surprised those welds started to fail. Glad you got it before they did. The help is equal parts annoying and awesome lol

Yea, they weren't all that great. Especially trying to adhere to cast iron. It was a fight. I dont think it would have stayed together much longer. Only 2 welds on the back were still holding.

Oh, man. That's a lot of culture to unravel. Japanese have always had a spot for cute little things which i have never fully understood.

Been reading about more and more states doing clumsy, heavy handed bans on Kei cars or just all 25 year imports in general. Has there been any hint this nonsense may spread to NV?
