Which timing belt kit!?

**ILoveT** · 10-07-2008 06:37 PM

ECS? PureMS?

Do I need everything? Duh hellz?

Which kit did everyone else purchase? I have never done the timing belt and am the second owner at 150k.

FCP on ebay always has great prices. When they don't have what I need, then i turn to alternates such as the AZ advertisers and such. Clicky Click.

I picked up the ECS tuning one while it was on sale this summer.
I've been real happy with it so far. Installed probably 8K ago, one hard track day, lots of street beatings and so far no issues.

EDIT: Head up to the Tunnel Park get together (Oct 12th) and I can get you cost on OE replacement parts. Should be cheaper than any of the online retailers can get them. I didn't have that option when I did mine.

Thanks a lot guys.

where is you are in IN? I could probably ship to you for cheaper than the online dealers too.

Hahaa, how you said that made me laugh.

I am east central. An hour east of Indy.

what year is your car? I can check tomorrow at work what it would cost and figure shipping.

You doin the water pump, T-stat, rollers/idlers, tensioner, cam seal and crank seal?

My FCP control arms have not lasted... so not really seeing me getting their timing belt

FCP?

We use Continental belts, OE tensioners, and I forget what rollers/bearings/idlers. ... they come in a blue and white box, I don't think they're Febi and I'm pretty sure they're "F A G" bearings (Guess I can't say that?)

Our kits have proven to be rock solid. We use only OEM parts for the best quality.

The FCP control arms are not Febi. They do offer Meyle, but many seem to not like them. In the full kits they sell, the bolts are Febi, but not the parts themselves.

To djwimbo, FCP (foreigncarpartsonline) is an ebay store which stores many OEM replacements parts. I picked up R version coil packs from them a couple weeks ago w/a 1 year warranty.
