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

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.
