    My fellow N. Carolinian, I personally recommend Autohausaz.com. Free shipping on most over 48$ now and OEM parts. Also eBay of course. Oh and Amazon. Annnnd some things on ECS Tuning.

    And imnuts is right, you will find chain and belt and H2O pump change/service many times over on AZ.

    I have a list of auto parts houses I check. Depending on the part and who makes it, you can shop around.

    For the timing belt kit (belt, tensioner, pump, seals and coolant) I chose FCP Euro.

    No can't say I have used Auto Parts Warehouse but after looking at their site I'd be careful. If they are anything like Parts Geek then trynna get them on the phone for a return/refund then you might as well just send me your money for the parts :P

    Do you recommend replacing the crank and camshaft seals? And if you remember what brand or where you get your kit from? . .so far I've looked into Ebay, ECS Tuning, uroparts and other websites stated above and also came across Auto Parts Warehouse !

    don't cheap out on parts.. as for the camshaft seals. if they aren't leaking don't mess with them. a lot of people change them out and then they leak. and if your going to do this yourself. Double check and recheck everything you do when installing. Make sure you mark your old belt and transfer to the new belt a lot easier.

    If the seals are not leaking, do not replace them.

    A few years ago I was messing around with my cam chain adjuster (long story). I had the cams in and out several times and decided that as long as they were out I should go ahead and change the front cam seals (that by the way, weren't leaking).

    Dumb ass mistake. The new ones started leaking. I pulled the old seals out of my scrap parts pile and put them back in. 30K miles later and still no leaks.

    The moral of this story: Listen to Diagnosticator.
