shinka: Thank you for the compliment! The changes depend on the item. The intakes and endlinks are mostly cosmetic. The intercooler, S/C pulleys and swaybars are all different in construction, function etc. Check out the details on each part for more info, and more info will be coming soon!
Red Scooter: The choice is yours. The V 2.0 includes black air box and V 2.0 badging, the classic is the two stage bright silver air box and no badge. Performance is identical between both.
Thanks folks for asking!

Mad props for updated website.

This thread needs a title change. It's mainly the Alta Announcement thread.
I've probably asked a half dozen questions on this thread and getting an answer seems to be pretty damn rare.

Eric_Rowland: Sorry for any confusion. If you click on the "Features" tab about the v 2.0 pulley you will see a narrative about the center hub. A photo is shown below. But to cut to the infamous chase the center section is balanced during production and the entire assembly is balanced down to .02 grams (even better than the OEM part) This is balanced at 16,000 RPM. No worries about an improperly balanced pulley.

sprp85: Thanks for the compliment on the new site! MotorWeb is one of our dealers they have the new information in hand. I will have our sales manager contact them today to see when they might be up and updated. (You can always call them for the current parts not shown on the site.) Thanks again!
obehave: Sorry that I didn't stay late at work last night to answer your question. We are open from 9-5 M-F. But got it this morning. The PSRS for the MCS adds more than 1.5 deg. of caster angle. Let us know if we can help further. If I missed another question let me know. We are here to answer questions and announcements are a side light. Our apologies if I(we) have offended you.
boxerboy43: Make sure you have the grey line capped, the PCV is clean and that the hoses are routed properly. If that checks out, call our tech line at 503-643-4677 ask for me or Jeff. We are both here to help! Thanks for your purchase!
discodan: It is a powder coat with a reflective panel on the bottom. (Updated photo showing the reflective panel coming soon.) Thanks for asking!
boxerboy43: Glad you got it fixed!
Strom: The 3" system has a slightly mellower tone as the larger pipe diameter further reduces resonance. The cruise tone (which is nearly nil with the 2.5" version) is very tame. Let us know if we can help further!
polizei: Thank you! Look for more detail, dynos, etc. between now and January 1st. Thanks again!
mdsbrain: Thank you too!
obehave: see above
Thanks again folks! Look forward to helping more very soon!

Just poking to get an answer
We all get busy
Thanks. I'm looking to improve handling but thinking this might be more help for a track car than a auto-x car.

obehave: Thanks for the reply. You might be surprised to know that this is beneficial for street cars as well. One of the major benefits that I found on my own MCS' is that when using plus sized wheels and tires (17" and larger) that it prevents wandering on uneven pavement. By removing the rubber bushing and replacing it with something less pliable the mechanical advantage is moved back to the control arm instead of at the wheel. Makes a much more direct path to work and less likelihood of spilling you Starbucks! Just my two cents.
Thank you all whom have visited the new site and the positive comments. We continue to add to content daily!

Nice website!
Alta, thank you for updating your website. It is refreshing to see a vender (no offense to others) that has an updated website. Hmm all new products on the website. My only "gripe" is that I just installed a "classic" pulley and I wish I had know about the new version. But then again, if you made a pre-announcement, everyone would like to know the numbers, when is it going to be released...okay I am ranting...sorry. Please keep the updates...er...updated and let us know if there is anything new on the horrizon...
Thanks,
Frodo
