I am getting ready to change my timing belt. I have 95,000 miles and figured I should change it now while I am at home then wait till I get to college and have to deal with it then. I have done plenty of searches on what else I should replace while I am in there and here is the list I got so far:

Timing Belt
Water Pump and Tensioner
3 other belts
Thermostat
Cam Seals
Crank Seal

I noticed that I am starting to leak oil and figured I should change some seals while I am in there too. I wanna order the parts cuz Coz at the Ultimate Z is gonna save me money but I want to make sure I have everything when I start to work on it. Let me know of anything else I should change while I am in there.

Change all of those things and you should be looking good. Your car will love you for it. A full tune-up might also help.

As far as cost, check with Courtesy before you buy.

Thanks so much. I wanted to do this before school, a full tune-up will be done in a few weeks once I get some more cash, its something I can do at school, while a timing belt change isnt so easy. I am goin to check with Courtesy and with Coz at the Ultimate Z to see who is gonna give me a better price, but I think Coz will beat Courtesy. Thanks again.

You're savin' yourself some cash...

I had all that done to my Max when I first bought it in July of '00, at a dealer in Mpls. Total cost, with two other minor unrelated items... $1150. I knew it was outrageous, but it had to be done, and I didn't know much about the car at the time.

Looks like a good list you got so far, good luck. I hear it's a tough job.
