Hey all,

Just adding to the list of things I need to do with my car while I have a bit of downtime, and a timing belt is the next on the list.  I've noticed Blau has a timing belt kit for like $140, was wondering if this is the way to go, or are there other kits or sources of parts that are preferred by the list wisdom?  I'm thinking of doing if myself, and renting the tools from Blau if I get the kit from them......then again, if I can find a shade-tree mechanic that charges a reasonable rate somewhere in the mountains of Colorado, I'm also more than happy to farm it out.  It makes me a little nervous, actually......but, I've been nervous before (hell, I'm nervous everytime I mess with this car!).  Any helpful hints/direction more than welcome.  Thanks!

Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!

Best regards,
