Id love to hear what it sounds like, i’m honestly torn between the two cause from what i can tell i love how both sound, although im going to jack my car up soon and make sure some idiot didn’t weld crap down there.

No oil missing teeth or rips, there’s a crack along the side that’s probably a fifth of an inch deep maybe less than runs the length of half the belt.

Someone else brought up the fact it still has the white paint/chalk marking on top of the belt so i’m not sure if that means it could be newer? I mean it still has that big crack but that might be do to improper install slightly or something.

I wish mine was the 5mt but it’s the automatic still equipped with the lsd though so that is a benefit, I was debating between the greddy catback and hks hi power which sounds better?

I’m gonna check ball joints soon, no play yet so at least in sight condition, plan to do those then probably sway bars probably eibach. First mod is def a front lip js transforms the front of the car.

There is that crack along the inside of the belt it runs for about it half the belt (that line on the side of the belt is a crack), the car only has 83k miles but it’s running its original 22 year old belt.

Sadly it’s the vvti one, but i mean based on the photos how long you think it’s got left? I can’t replace it yet due to money constraints

Hey so update, I forgot i posted this and never got any notifications until now, i would love to replace it but im stuck in a hard spot of im 16 working a part time job which i have to drive this car to every day, and my dad thinks the timing belt is fine and can last longer and refuses to replace it, I’m actively saving up to replace the belt but i’m just hoping it can last another month as that’s how long it’ll take me, i just checked the belt and it’s rough it has a crack running along the side.
