Gates Timing Belt

[LD25Delta9]

I just wanted to drop a helpful tip to those looking to upgrade their timing belt to a Gates Performance Racing belt. There are plenty of places that sell the belt for around $120.00 US. That's just bollocks. I know that Bruce at Parts Dinosaur has about the best online price you can find for one at $69.00 plus S&H. Well, after a little bit of searching and dumb luck, I found that good old O'reilly Auto Parts has the same belt, the T246RB, not the T246, for cheaper, even after paying shipping. Here's the Link. After calling them they said that shipping would come to $5.13 for my particular store and that is still cheaper than anyplace online with the same amount of wait time.

So, soup-to-nuts, this is the best deal I've found on a Gates Performance Timing belt for the 420a. Has anyone found a better deal that wasn't "knowing a guy"?

I think this is the same belt at Modern Performance for just $47.99:

Gates OEM Timing Belt 95-99 Neon 2.0L DOHC - Timing Components - Gates

I'm not sure how much shipping would be, but they're usually rather reasonable.

EDIT: Never mind, I guess that's their OEM belt. Here's their "racing" belt for $64.99, so it's a little more expensive than O'Reilly's. MP still isn't a bad alternative for those of us that don't have an O'Reilly's around:

Gates Racing Timing Belt 95-99 Neon 2.0L DOHC - Timing Components - Gates Racing
