I'm going to buy a new timing belt and waterpump, can someone just post links of the best ones? I don't want to buy one not knowing anything about it, and get a junk one. So, if you don't mind, just post me a few links of some reputable parts. Thanks.
 
for the timing belt I went with a Gates and I have heard very good things about them! heres the link:
Gates Racing Performance Timing Belt Mitsubishi Eclipse/Talon 420a
You might be able to find a better price else where but CI is usually spot on. I also got a water pump from there:
Airtex Water Pump Eclipse/Talon 420a - CI Motorsports
It was worked great so far but i dont know of a whole lot of performance water pumps for the 420a.
also make sure the tensioner still works properly and the bearings in the idler pulleys are still good. Good luck and check your timing a few times to make sure its dead on!
 
Just get OEM dont go for any off brands

I called the dealer and they quoted me 150 a piece of the parts, I didnt feel that 300 bucks was a good price for the parts.
