Can get them from most motorfactors.... You may need new idler pulleys and tensioner

When I did mine (93 WRX 65kmiles) I had to change all the idler pulleys because you could hear the bearings had gone, but only found out once I had the belt off... didnt replace the tensioner because it was working well, not leaking and the early style tensioner is meant to be quite strong.

I bought the idler pulleys from camskill.com... you can get the belt from there too.

It’s also good to change the front camshaft oil seal while it’s out.

Also a good idea to change the crank seal, can only be done with the cam belt off and only cost a few pounds! There was a thread on here a few days ago regarding removal.

I just had mine done, the belt was £59.99 made by 'Gates' the crank seal was £5 ish. I got the belt through a local supplier these 'Gates' belts came highly recommended. The crank seal was from the stealers.

Sport items considerably cheaper than turbo parts. The stealers want around £80 for a cam belt and either supply Gates or Dayco I think. Don't pay the mark up and get direct from internet or local supplier.
