Hey, guys well, I am trying to just fix my problem and sell my car, I cant keep up with the maintanance, I drive too much for that, including work. Ok, my problem is that my accessory belts keep getting ripped to hell!(But timing belt is fine), ever since I've had the car, I have replaced the belts 3-4 times already! This is rediculous! Well I have replaced my crank pulley/damper with a new unit, cleaned off all the pullies, made sure they weren't bent and spun freely, and they still broke twice after all that! I dont know what to do anymore, now the powersteering pump seized, so I know that I need a new pump, pump bracket, and pulley for the pump, and I do have one belt still on, the A/C. Otherwise the everything seems fine. The only thing that seems odd to me is that the car seems to have a kind of small vibration as you go up in the revs. If you guys can help me out in anyway, my phone is 813-368-4936, Xavier, anytime is ok, Thanks. Oh yeah, the car is a 97 automatic gst, let me know asap guys, the car is bone stock

Well, after looking at my car, I felt pretty dumb after we found out what was wrong with the car, a bolt was missing which held the alternator in place, making it move around and break the belt. I retract my previous statement, but would still like to sell my car, I want to get back into a honda. Check out the for sale forum, let me know what you guys think, thanks, Xavier.
