i didnt put a new one on, i was debating but didnt want to spend the money. It was a cheap one though, and i tensioned it too tight.

That's a tensile break, and is a direct result of over tensioning the belt. :)

Yeah, also because a used belt should be tensioned less than a new belt as well, so it was probably severely over tensioned.

It only had a few thousand miles on it, so i figured it would be good. Plus i spend a few hundred on the top and door cards, so i was trying to be cheap.

How'd you over tension the belt? It's just a spring and then tighten the bolt holding the pulley in place.

It looked loosey goosey, didnt think about the fact that it really only needs to be tight on the exhaust cam side.

It would have been just fine had been not put extra tension on the belt... Hell I'm putting my 5k old timing belt back on, but I am not putting any extra pressure on it than the spring does.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

That was the point lol. Greg Chris and I all bought miatas around the same time. Pretty sure there are a few more that people made in jest.
