Hi
I did the same to my z3 a few years ago and have done over a 100000 klms with no problems except for burning out the plastic idler pulleys I have spoken to Jim at downing Atlanta who admits they are rubbish.
He suggested I source a better quality idler pulley easier said than done the hard part was finding a pulley of the approximate size with a lip impossible I have settled for 2 without any lip I hope that the lips on all the other pulleys will keep the belt on track
I was wondering if you have had any problems with the idler pulleys if so what did you replace them with ?
by the way it was a great idea to take the pictures of the install, they were very handy for me as it has been a few years since I installed the kit I had to replace the heater hose from the plastic coolant pipe to the back of the motor last weekend easy but fidly
Regards johnt
