RE: timing belt
 

You should have your timing belt changed every 60,000 miles this will save you big repair bills. i just had mine done last month, I also went ahead and had the water pump and hydraulic tensioner changed out at the same time, it costs a little more but better safe than sorry. It ran me 1300.00 to have it done at the dealership.

damn u got ripped on 1300 i just replaced all that stuff on mine for like 700 but i did it myself except for the water pump (and the guy that put it on is the reason i had to replace the belt and tensioner). heres a high quality belt that isnt much more than what u will pay for a stock one at the dealership ($180 vs. $160) www.3sxperformance.com but i got a stock one from napa for $125

www.3sxperformance.com Do it now belt (kevelar) like the stuff in body armor and the tensioner. Or pay $up to $3000 to fix the car if it breaks.
