Thanks, that should be my bed time read tonight. I will not do it myself but still interested in reading about it.

Lol, I'm building one as well. Maybe we can get laid sometimes in the future.

I wish I knew how to do it. Life would be so much simpler.

I will collect all the parts this week and then see what I'm doing next week, maybe head down to PAW or some where local.

I was thinking of attempting to do mine but thought its not worth it if i do something wrong hence going to PAW to get it done.

Car is alive!!!!!

Thanks to Peter (ToyRacer69)

Just put Ratty's old one in mine and it worked.

Still not put the power steering belt on the car as I didn't have one.

But the car is working and no other faults.

Yay. I think you should come to JAE to celebrate.

I'm not touching the car until I get the timing belt changed.

I have PM'd PAW for a quote, just waiting for them to get back to me.

JAE is over a month away. Pull your finger out.

I got my main belt from Honda as they are as cheap as the local motorfactors. Prob cheaper than Gates as well.
I used a motorquip balance belt.
Bought a genuine Honda manual tensioner kit from ebay
Motorquip PAS and Alt belts.
Some random cheap water pump, as I am not paying £90ex VAT from Honda
Also look into changing your oil seals while its all apart, my camshaft seals where leaking so I changed those, £6 each from Honda.
You don't want to do it yourself, its a pain, if I wasn't so tight I would have paid someone to do it.

Take a look at my project thread on here to see what it entails(Ben's Dirty Jap)
