Default Changing timing belt
So with the engine apart i was told that the timing belt has seen better days, so now looking to change it.

What would ppl recommend for something thats pumping out some decent power (350KW atw+). Rough cost for timing belts?

DON'T USE AFTERMARKET TIMING BELTS.

Stock will be fine.

Knowing you though, its not good enough... so if you want a "high performance" one, get the STi upgraded stronger timing belt. It's OEM and its stronger, so you can't go wrong. Also it has cherry blossom red highlights so its good for an extra 50HP.

P.S. it's fucking expensive.

How about this one Tino. If someone reckons it looked a bit 'ragged' just do it mate. Last thing you need is it to go, your slugs to bend your valves and then spend thousands on headwork for the sake of a few hundred bucks.
