    I posted a while back that my car kept shreading the belt, well, after about 10 times in the shop and a week after sending in a lemon law report the problem is supposed to be fixed. Turns out that saleen forgot to shave off the piece on the timing chain cover where the bolt goes in that holds the p/steering fluid resevior...ford said that saleen said that was what kept cutting the belts since saleen forgot to shave it during the conversion....nice f**k up saleen:nonono:

    That is exactly where I was having problems with the belt. I machined it down last weekend. I posted about it on the other saleen forums and other guys are having the same problem. I posted a pic where it was hitting and what to grind off. I think it helped with a lot of headaches!
