Okay, so, today I want to talk about my recent experience with Jones Racing Belts. I’ve been working on my car for a while now, and I decided it was time to upgrade some parts. You know how it is, always looking for ways to get a little more out of your ride.
Getting Started
First, I started by doing some research online. I wanted to see what other people were saying about Jones Racing Belts. I stumbled upon some discussions about their heavy-duty radius tooth belts. Apparently, these belts offer better contact with the pulley. I was intrigued, so I kept digging.
The Decision
After reading more, I learned that these belts require less tension and reduce friction. Less friction means more horsepower, and who doesn’t want more horsepower? I was sold. I decided to give them a try.
Installation
I ordered the belts, and once they arrived, I got to work. Now, I’m no professional mechanic, but I’m pretty handy. I followed the instructions that came with the Jones Drive Kit I had also purchased. It was a bit of a process, but I managed to get everything installed.
- First, I removed the old belts. This was pretty straightforward, just loosening a few bolts here and there.
- Then, I put the new Jones Racing belts in place. This was a bit trickier because I had to make sure they were aligned properly.
- Finally, I tightened everything up and double-checked my work.
The Result
After everything was installed, I took the car for a spin. And let me tell you, I could feel the difference. It was subtle, but the car felt more responsive. I’m not sure how much of that was the placebo effect, but I like to think the new belts are doing their job.
One thing I did notice is that the new belts had a gold finish. Looks pretty cool, I guess. They’re also supposed to be heavy-duty, so hopefully, they’ll last a while.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase. It wasn’t too expensive, and it seems like it made a difference in my car’s performance. Plus, the installation process was a good learning experience. I’m not saying everyone should rush out and buy these belts, but if you’re looking for a little something extra, they might be worth considering. If you’re into racing, you might also look into the 6-point or 7-point harnesses. I didn’t get into that this time, but it’s something to think about for the future. Anyway, that’s my experience with Jones Racing Belts. Hope it was helpful!
