It is true that is is best to use either factory parts or a "kit" by Aisin (available from Rock Auto) includes everything but the drive belt that does the alternator & A/C compressor. Aisin manufacturers parts for Honda & Toyota.
Bought a decently priced timing belt kit for my 03' accord coupe, think under $250 if I'm not mistaken was an aisin brand it's held up pretty good being that aisin is the oe manufacturer for the water pumps installed in these cars i felt pretty good putting this in. It's been about a year and no issues car runs strong and purrs like a kitten @283k miles
You'll be happy to know that Aisin is actually oem or as close as you can get it's a great kit.
I like the Continental kit (sometimes called Conti-tech, which I *think* is the same thing). I have not encountered any issues with this kit and have used it to replace TB/WP on four NAs so far. I just bought one that will be going into my NB soon.
Put an Aisin kit on it. Don't go with anything other than OEM or Aisin. Aisin makes the OEM kits for subies.
My understanding is Aisin is the best. It is all OEM parts.
Make sure oem. Non of the aftermarket crap. AISIN TKT021. Comes with tensioner.
I went with Aisin, been working for the last 30k miles.
Labor isn't bad but where the hell did they get the pricing for the timing kit? OEM is like $300-400.
Dude that radiator is almost 4x than the one I put into my 06 gt. The timing belt kit you can get for 500 and under. Aisin branded
