Thanks for that awesome post! I have looked into the 3/2 program, as my grades are not "cal material" but I haven't been able to decide on whether I want to commit to it yet. I still have about 2 months before classes begin - and most are all filled already! I hope I can still get into the ones I need for a program like that. Also weird is that I live in the North Bay! (West Marin) I took my 122s out to Sears Point Racetrack up in Sonoma last year for some drag racing and got a *ahem* 21 second quarter mile at 63 mph... Heh. I was tempted to treat myself and fill up on race fuel, but at $7 a gallon it was a bit much.

Thanks Ron for the info about pulley sizes, I'm more worried about the width/pitch of the v-belt though. Is it likely that the pulley on the alternator will be "close enough" to the one on the engine?

Also, thanks to everyone else giving info about the sizing. I think the erroneous mention of the car being primarily metric in my Haynes manual must have thrown me off a while ago.
