Heat Spacers

Hey guys, in the summer with the heat my car feels sluggish so I was wondering if I just put in heat spacers will it make a difference in performance?

you may want to consider a tune up. i'm not sure about your maintenance history, but at 5 years i replaced the plugs, i/c pump, and drained and filled the coolant a few times.

the plugs alone should wake your car up a bit.

check your belts too. you'll be surprised how she reacts to a new blower belt.

post maintenance history and mileage.

Thanks for the information Oscar. I changed the belts and now need to do the rest of the stuff you suggested. I also found out noise coming from the engine when cold and it's the pulley.
What size are the pulleys stock? If I get a 172mm will I need to replace other parts as well that's recommended?

noise is probably from the idler pulley not the crank pulley.
