I have a '97 ITR with 27k miles. I wonder if I should do the tune up like timing belt, all belts change, water pump....etc? I searched the HT that most of you said that the OEM belt is good for 105k miles. But the question I have is the car is about 8 years old but hardly driven much. Therefore is major tuneup needed for the B18C5?

Thanks!

 

97itr with 22k is not low miles

 

Better safe than be sorry.

I would definitely change out the timing belt. Isn't it 105k miles or 8 years? Belt become brittle after a while. Better to spend $500 for t.b. & water pump, then blow up a motor, ya know?

 

I would replace the belts (both accessory and timing), fuel filter and the water pump.

I would also do a valve adjustment at this time.

 

are you selling it?

 

goo ahead and do it, specially in the cold if the belt if gettign brittle like others have said.

I just had a belt break on me and it put me over 2000 back.... I am poor now. But I also went tothe dealership and they robbed my blind.

 

I would do the scheduled maintanance only (30K).

Thank you all. Majority has spoken. I will go ahead do all the belts change, fuel filter, tranny...etc.
