Whining belt
Have a belt whine that only happens at idle, progressively worse with higher revs. Assuming I need to loosen the balance belt a little, but I would like to be sure. If someone can confirm my diagnosis, that would be great. Any other ideas are welcome though. Guess it's not ready to be a daily driver just yet.
Funny thing is, I drove around for a couple hours last night, never encountered the whine until this evening when i went to get gas. $1.99/gallon woohoo!

Is it only at idle or only when the clutch is pushed in? My car was doing something similar and it took me a bit to realize it only did it when the clutch was pushed. It lasted a few days and hasn't happened again.

Perhaps I phrased what was wrong; it whines only in neutral so far as I can tell, clutch pushed in or not. I just went to see how it was, and seems more random occurrence than anything else.
