that's a good kit. My friend replaced his timing belt with a kit from Ebay and car runs perfect ever since. It took us only 3 hours to replace it.
BTW...why are you looking for a new timing belt at 78K? 105K is the number, right?

DO NOT GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
the GMB pump will leak. Bando or mitsubishi will be a better drive belt. Thats all I can make out in the picture. I am sure the rest of it is second rate or worse

I used a full Gates kit. Big name so I trusted it. Much cheaper than OEM, but Gates makes quality stuff. My kit came with a damaged water pump too, but got a refund within a week. Didn't even have to send the bad one back to em.

One thing physically damaged is gonna happen to any company. They stood by their product by offering to get me a new one quickly, but I needed my car so got a refund instead since I could get one locally for a bit more. That gives me piece of mind about their products.
