Well its becoming time to order some maintenance parts for my 205 and just have a quick question for some of you.
1) When replacing my timing belt, should I also replace the tensioner as well? I did not with my previous 185, but what is the advantage to doing so? 2) Is there any point in purchasing a HKS timing belt rather than my OEM one, considering I do not plan on doing adjustable cam gears anytime soon on the vehicle? I know I had a few more questions, but will update when I remember haha. -Kellen. -------------------- current project: looking :(

I just ordered the whole set off ebay for like 230$...had it all done at the same time or else they charge ya for the same labor because they got to take the bay apart to get that stuff on...I'd say buy the whole set comes with tensioners water pump etc $230 is tempting, but unless its OEM i don`t really want to change with another companies water pump/belt/tensioner.. rhdjapan has the pump for $160, and tension for $60. Then 1st toyota for $40 for timing belt,slightly over $230.. Hmm -------------------- current project: looking :(
