Rockauto parts sell their timing belt kit with Aisin waterpump and Mitsuboshi belt. GMB is Japan made i believe so should be ok.

I just put those parts and new cam seals and crank seal on my car yesterday what a byatch that was, but use them you will be fine. I paid $200 for all those prts it is rather cheap.

Ok so the ebay store agreed to swithch out the GMB wpump to AISIN and the GMB tensioneer to KOYO so it worked out pretty good the store is volkstoymotorsports.com the total of all parts was $256 so i think its a better deal than rockauto here is the link in case u want yo check it out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...12482979747336just be sure to tel them u dont want GMB.
