yeah thats what i heard too, i'm going to get those AEM ones probably from the US as it will be much much cheaper lol. just a quick question, is the cam belt from a B20A7 the same as an A1. cant find anything for mine but i know there pretty similar engines so would it still fit?
Does anyone know the size? i think its 124 teeth by 24mm wide or something like that? i might try get a performance one or get one made.

Had to get some HT leads made today :lol: the ones the part suppliers kept giving me were too short so i had some made longer 8-) special car lol

A gates belt should be strong enough...

I searched the Gates Racing site, but they didn't have anything listed for your year, so I searched my year instead ('89).
