Don't go cheap on timing belts. Doesn't have the timing belt tensioner, either, which is a good idea to replace. That's the expensive part ($90 online). When I did mine, I replaced the two belts and the tensioner. The tensioner bearings were still in great shape so I won't replace those until 120k.

Timing belt tensioner, not the accessory belt tensioner. 
I'm trying to find the part # for that now.
I would go with OEM. I haven't really seen any aftermarket timing belts for our cars that look like they're an improvement, just the cheap knock-offs you get at autoparts stores. We can't get cool kevlar belts like the Evo guys.

I know for a fact that you can get the timing belt from autoparts stores and I dont think that GATES is a cheap brand. I know they make a timing belt kit for our cars but dont remember how much it costs.
Why did you change the tensioner Otter?? Did it need changing becuase I thought it was just the belts at 60k miles we needed to change. I plan on doing it myself and just buying the parts.

hrrrm, seeing as how I have a free timing belt and related parts voucher I will probably buy anything I can't get them to put on under "related parts" anyway, but $20 isn't bad at all. is our water pump in the same area as the timing belt? I am at work or I could answer that myself. I have about 15k till the belt change so I need to start thinking about all the odds and ends I can throw on. It's an awful lot of free labor to waste.

If you read the auction it comes with both belts and both tensioners, but as far as quality i don't know.
