I wouldn't use anything with the name "JIS" on my car .
timing belt is just something that you don't want to go cheap on.

I searched around the forums for racing timing belts...didnt see anything. All I found were tons of people needing help fixing TB's.

Whats IYO best TB to pick up?

OEM, never heard of a racing timing belt. I think the OEM one can handle what you throw at it.

The timing belt is a very important part of your car, don't cheap out on it.

Ebay is for intakes and strut bars

Only belts I would trust for timing are OEM ,Gates ,and GoodYear. Any of these will do just fine.(I have GoodYear on right now)

oem is fine. stay away from those ebay belts. you break a timming belt while driving you will pay 20 times what you pay for one belt to get it fixed.

My buddys h22 swapped accord slipped a brand new OE belt and snapped it, bending everything that could possibly be bent, ended up buying a new head and pistons because of that thing. Its just my personal experience with them, ive got a greddy belt on my car and i havent had any problems with it (ebay). But get what you think is best.
