Who here is close to doing a Timing Belt change?

I have a couple friends that are doing a group buy which would include all the parts needed for the job...if you want in, PM me and I will send you the link.

I MAKE NO MONEY FROM THIS WHATSOEVER.

I have seen the belts in person and can tell you they are bad *** and pretty damned burly looking.

I get nothing out of this at all other than helping a couple friends out...no I also do not get a discount from them...I do once in a while get free prototype thingies but not because of this (mostly because I have spent a lot of money on stuff from them).

In the package they are putting together you get all the pulleys, idlers, wheels, pumps and other thingamabobs you need as well as racing belts.

i was trying to look out for you guys

if you get some crappy pump that fails you can overheat your car. if you get a crappy bearing that makes noise or locks up it can screw the motor. gates is a decent belt so no complaints

and no im not selling anything

i just dont want HIIC peeps bamboozled

that and i have only sold three things

Word...I'm pretty sure everyone knows who TiC is here...they're pretty **** about things so I doubt they'd sell crappy parts.

I believe the parts you ask about are OEM or something like that.

Hello,

Right off hand...would you happen to know if the STI and WRX use the same parts as far as this kit goes?

I need to get my clutch done, then soon there after...have my timing belt changed out.

Thanks for the info,
