Im changing my timing belt pretty soon, and if I were you I would stay away from aftermarket brands like Dayco and Drive Rite. Im special ordering mine from Gates, (its called the gatorback) through my store so I get the 20% discount, and skip the payment on shipping. If you want I can order you one too, its about 70$ (minus 20%) My name is Ralfy btw.

 

I don't get paid until the 30th but I'll let you know if its still cool by then...I'm saving up for a set of rims to get rid of the disgusting ones that came with my car....ohh btw the check engine light went away today on my way home from work

 

Sounds like an o2 sensor.

 

Same here. I'm used to it being on now that I don't bother shutin it off on most of the time.

The second O2 (downstream one) is only there for the cat anyway, which i dont have anymore.

 

Your Gatorback belt can be had at autozone for $26. a Mitsu belt is like $90 if ya want OEM

 

For a timing belt you're going to want to do OEM, mainly because it's like one of the most critical parts that you want working right, and it will definately be the right fit. Cant be too careful with dsm, imo.

When i bought mine from mitsu it was like 60 bucks, but it was for a 1G so im not sure about the difference in price. Thats my .02

Really? We can only order those from our second source (Tropical) and its 70ish.

 

timing belts are the same 1g/2g/evo

 

Is it normal for a rack & pinion to go bad on a 2nd gen gst????

 

gas cap leaking if it said that the catalyst is below efficiency
or vacuum leak
