Timing Belt Kit

Post by dstocks »

Is the best place to buy a full timing belt kit (including hydraulic tensioner) on Ebay (Dayco) for $319? Or can I get a better price elsewhere?

[edit] just noticed the previous post to mine tonight as also about timing belts. What are the odds....[/edit]

        Is your car a GPX?

        Do you still have your receipts for those?

        Trouble with their system is that, you are not really sure if you are getting the right stuff, as in for Mivec, or non-mivec.

        Dwayne, I've heard some pretty bad stories about non OEM tensioners.
        NTN are the suppliers of OEM hydraulic tensioners from what I understand so you're better off buying a kit without it and sourcing an NTN tensioner separately

        The mitsfix guy knows his sh*t, and yes I bought a whole kit from him for a mivec. He knows about the tooth difference.

        I know Mal from MitsFix, the guy is a f**king legend and knows so much about Mitsus it is crazy. If you call up and ask or send an email he will answer with detail.

          MitsFix have an eBay store called mitsfix, they also run a shop down here under the exact same name where the parts are shipped from.
