It's like people saying they can't afford to buy their own food as they stand there with their new iPhone 6 Plus with 10GB monthly data to stream their online music subscription to their new Beats headphones.

So what you mean is you choose not to spend your money on track days.

Also, you care a little too much about how I spend my money.
p.s. I have unlimited data on my phone.

IDGAF how you spend your money. Saying you 'can't afford' track days is BS, you simply choose to spend the money elsewhere.
Yes, I'm blasting you for semantics, because I'm grumpy and bored at work.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP CRYING!!!
Your wasting your money drifting.
You should be spending your money building a 949 Racing Supermiata clone so you can dominate people in TTE (NASA time trial for you driftorz).
How dare you come to this website and do anything else?
I had a set of 3 piece Work wheels on one of my previous cars, back when it was cool. In 2006. 6UL or die

What it looks like happened is the previous owner had a timing belt replaced, and whoever did the work didn't tighten the bolt to spec. Maybe they didn't use any loctite, used the same bolt, or didn't torque the bolt to spec. Regardless, the bolt got loose, pulley began to wobble on the crank, and the key way widened.
Options, make an offset key, jb weld fix, replace the motor, rebuild mine. Bang for the buck and time is getting an offset key made. That could potentially last me a while until I feel like rebuilding this motor or another motor. JB weld fix leaves me a bit skeptical, and full rebuild / motor swapping right now can't happen, too busy with the baby.
TL;DR - Problems, can't have nice things.
