i honestly figured ryan would have used/sold it by now because this thread is a few months old. friend just texted me this morning and said he would try to get tensioners for me so idk if i even need the kit anymore. still debating if i should just go all out again and get tensioners, pulleys, water pump, seals, etc. i dont want any problems because i was too cheap to pay the couple hundred lol. and thanks brian and cendo, will check out amazon if i decide to buy the kit!

 

Man I guess we are having a timing belt/pulley/tensioner/water pump changing party because I'm in the market for a kit myself! This gates kit that is being mentioned, is that the name of the company? Simply Gates or is it something like 'gates racing' an help would be greatly appreciated!

 

hey jake,
goggle is your friend:
02-07 WRX & STI Gates OEM Timing Kits & Components: JSC Speed

not the cheapest kid id suppose but that was the one of the first goggle hits

 

if anyone decides to do theirs at home, i wouldn't mind checking it out to pick up some pointers before i attempt mine.
