Yeah but even a car driven agreesively shouldnt have parts like this failing at such a early stage. Maybe at higher milage i could understand but this is just unacceptable.

My 89 acura legend with 200k miles was a tank. I drove it like i stole it for 4 years and never gave me any problems. Only thing major was the altenator that went out once and i attribute that to my high powered stereo system.

And this a toyota which is supose to be better than honda is having problems like this at such a early stage seems unacceptable to me. So even if i put the factory pulley back on and still drive the car aggresively that means i will be having to change my water pump every single year?!?

I know its a econo car but come on.
