New 95 hatch - good website to get a new timing belt?
Hey guys, just picked up a 95 hatch from a friend, its been sitting in his garage for the last 3-4 years on jackstands.
Its got a lot of goodies, is very clean and i got a good price for it.
Without going into too much details it has a b18b swap and i was curious if i should change the timing belt since rubber dry rots, im pretty confident that the answer is yes but my friend just changed it a few months before he parked it, and after i took the covers off and checked it out it looked pretty damn good to me, even replaced it with a honda one. Although it would be cheap insurance to not blow the engine into bits right after start up.
If so wheres a good website to get a new one? Im kinda on a budget with this restore because theres a lot of other things i need to replace aswell and dont wanna wait too long to drive it. I bought it to save gas on my truck which gets about 10mpg and with the weather getting nicer the sooner the better. Thanks!

Hard to beat Rock Auto for pricing on anything. They have a kits with and without water pump/tensioner.
I would rec the Gates belt too...

rockauto shipping charge can be a deal breaker.
check ebay and amazon too.
i'm running the cheap gates belt and water pump but been seeing bad things about their pumps. now looking at npw pumps, anyone tried one?

The OEM belt should be replaced every seven years. You should easily get a few more years out of that belt if there was no oil/coolant leaks on it.
The gates timing belt & tensioner is good stuff, they make the OEM belt. I used their dumb cast iron pump, it's okay but i'd prefer the stamped metal version.
Get an aisin water pump, they make good parts.
Get some felpro cam/crank seals too. Federal Mogul's (felpro's parent company) gaskets/seals are good.
