Graham Goode Timing belt
Anybody used these timing belts?
Seems a very good price, I have emailed them and they claim to use these belts on all their Impreza engines including big power builds

For the uninformed what exactly are we looking at in these photos
that mean the belt is unsuitable?

some of the kevlar is exposed on the running surface of the belt which would make it a weak point and could cause failure.

Could have been a fault during the manufacturing process im sure it would have been replaced
