i got a timing belt tensioner for aroun $76 if i remember correctly from rockauto.com or thepartsbin.com
i also got the conti belt kit and all the pulleys when i did mine and a water pump...i figured id rather be safe than sorry..my car had 113kmi on it..it sounded totally diffrerent when i was done...a little more raspy now and oddly enough feels a little responsive to throttle but at the same time it feels like it puls just a hair harder...probably from gettign rid off any slack in the belts..

Hopefully you can see it, I got it on ebay so the auction ended but I think you can still see it.

UPPDATE: got me a PnP intake mani and head coming to me, possible internals, and gotta get a gt eclipse TB on the way too. may look into the thermal gaskets from RPW. will be a nice build if everything comes together. the re flash will be some extra ummph when that gets going too.

so my header and dp came in today, and i have to say HOLY CRAP THEY LOOK NICE!!! i got them from a guy on the forums for $180 shipped. had surface rust, and you could tell it was on the guy's car for two years...
i sent the set over to performancecoatings.com, they hooked me up and media blasted my setup clean, and then re-coated them in a nice ceramic "satin grey ice". a nice rich, dark grey with a hint of metallic flake. ill post pics here soon. will be nice to install these on the car. just gotta order a high flow cat, and make me a cel eliminator. but i may wait for the PnP head and intake mani come in and just do everything all at once.
