has anyone had experience with timing belts other than toyota oem part, just wondering as i found a company called aisin that sells the timing kit for my car and the price is decent, any input is welcome good, bad, or maybe so!

 

asain is 1 of toyota oem manufacutors parts are close to oem specfic i would use gates productes

 

^^ +1 on the Gates belt.

 

aisin IS the Toyota supplier! Use them you will NOT be disappointed!

 

good looks people much appreciated i saw that aisin company and thier tag about them being the one who supplies toyota...t70 i feel ya on happy hour did da same myself

 

From what I have read the Gates timing belt is more durable, withstands higher RPM's, and much better than the oem belt, but idk about the other things in the kit.

Gates T215RB

Why did you link to that site?

Their prices are terrible

 

I didn't look at the price. Purpose was to link to that site for info on its durability. Sry about that

 

...and also if you haven't, post some pics playa in the new owners thread if you haven't.

 

What's the best place you all have found for a complete OEM-quality timing belt kit, preferably with the Gates belt?

 

I got the aisin kit from partsgeek, aisin pump, mitsuboshi belt, Koyo pulleys. good stuff and oem suppliers.
