I realize that the timing belt controversy goes on and on. Some say Gates belts are okay, but others say only go OEM. I've heard that Gates belts can have a couple extra teeth and can wear out prematurely, but I'm not sure if this is always true.
Anyhow, I saw this Gates kit from JNZ tuning and I just want to get some thoughts on it: http://www.jnztuning.com/product_info.php?products_id=3375 . At about $180, it's really cheap, considering that it includes everything for a complete timing belt job.
I got my '95 talon about a year ago, and have put a few thousand miles on it (it's now at about 95,000 miles). It just makes me nervous driving it around without knowing if a belt is going to snap, especially since the guy I bought it from didn't know when/if it was replaced!
Thanks
