Selling my Code 3 Pulley

I've decided to switch to a crank pulley for more power and am going back to the stock s/c pulley. I'd like to sell my code 3 pulley for $350. It is the aluminum version and I have experienced no damage to the drive belt. If interested please pm me.

why are you switching to the crank pulley? Going with the crank pulley will increase the belt speed, speeding up the idler and all other pulleys and potentially causing problems. going with a smaller diameter sc pulley gives a higher sc speed without all the other issues. I am thinking of having my sc pulley turned down myself.

....needswings pulley saver kit solves any problems associated with crank pulleys

...and if you do machine down the sc pulley too much, you'll have excessive belt slip, which will also be an issue....and you'll have to find a way to increase belt wrap

You're going to love it, At least I do MINE!!(despite its initial belt shredding tendencies) Get a tune along with the install and you'll have a strong running car. Intake, Johnson and HS should then follow!!

I do not know the OP but I would be cautious of buying a part from someone with 1 post plus it looks like you are in Europe. Might want to have him put it on ebay and set it up so you are the only one that can buy it. At least you will have some protection.

Reminds me of that ebay auction for a code 3 pulley that photographed appeared to be just the stock pulley... I agree, be careful on this one.

Probably a scam..?? Funny how he sold it prior to sending you a picture of the pulley.. I think you saved yourself $350.. Take your wife to dinner and a movie instead..

My Code 3 pulley may be up for sale in the next month. I still haven't 100% decided to upgrade to the 185. But if it does go up for sale I'll post a video of it on the car running as well as a picture when new and anything else I can think of. I'll even have a newspaper with the date so you can tell it's recent. Oh, I will most likely ask too much for it too because I missed all the group buys and paid (gasp) $690 for it. It is the last version and has 4,000 miles on it. If the seller can't do these things they're not an owner, just a parts broker or ......
