No the belt I took off looked like it was still good! It jumped 8 teeth on the pass side "right side". IT WAS A FACTORY SUBIE belt if you check out the configuration you'll notice the right side has much less tension on it a natural fault zone. 'll be brutally honest and state I was road racing a MERCEDES ABOUT A 75K MERCEDES AND if the belt had nmot have slipped I would have kicked his ass, the driver of the cedes was older than I. Anyway I won't run that hard again, I hope I left that impression with that gorgeous cedes, but nthe SVX did everything I thought it would. I consider myself lucky. You'd have to see this strech of road even the most religious would nutt it I'm sure. Anyway The subie did me fine. So did this site, I'm a gonna get real drunk tonite cry for my dead friends, some from Viet Nam. I'm only human on the inside. Keep them SVXes going and after this innocuos drunk, and after the world takes a spin i'll be back. Ya know CDG, you were damn right.... thanks.
