What did you do today to your 3/S?

Wait you can spend about 2C notes for clear timing belt covers but will not but an OEM water pump? Sorry going to say this bluntly.

If your budget can not afford a OEM water pump, why did you waste money on a things like the timing belt covers and an "A" pillar gauge pod?

Well I'm not a reasonable person

But I've read alot about the the gates pumps and they seem to do fine. Hans on here said the cast impeller i shit though. But taking a chance on it.

It's not like a failed pump will ruin your engine anyways. Temps go up and you just pull aside. Mine just failed and it's no big deal. Glad I had the lcdbc to warn me about the temp going up so high though

Have you even taken into thought that the failure could be the pump seizing up?

Hopefully the bearing won't seize. People run OEM for a reason.

no didn't really think about that.

maybe I should just get the mitsu pump then

I really thought that Hans made his point about this part in the chat room with you.

he did? maybe I missed it then. I just remember he said the cast impeller was bad.

[2fnloud]

Yeah, that is what I was talking about, I thought then you decided that you should get an OEM

[sublime_whatigo]

Wish I still had the picture of a Gates pump where the pulley separated from the impeller.

No because my reasoning was it wouldn't do anything to the engine if it did. I didn't know/think about possibility of bearing seizing the pump and belt. So that makes it more of a risk running an aftermarket pump. Oh well enough about this. Now I know.
