For anyone using a prostreetonline.com timing belt kit
Are you pleased with the parts? The reason I'm asking is because the timing belt I got in this kit is aftermarket. My family and friends are telling me that it's pretty sketchy putting on a belt that's not distributed by Honda.

I couldn't find any reviews so I thought I'd post up before I put these replacement parts on and possibly grenade my motor.

I'd listen to your parents, frankly.
That belt is the mission-critical part and I would pay the OEM premium for peace of mind. :hsd:
However, I have not heard stories of the PSO belts failing prematurely.

looks like "$153.xx" is the cost of this... i spent $210.xx when i got my timing belt kit from honda direct... so the difference is miniscule... $60 is not worth your engine giving out on you

Yeah, given $57 shipped (for the timing belt alone) from eBay Acura of Escondido, it's hard to not go OEM.

I don't cheap out on my car if that's what you're wondering. I'll have no problem throwing the prostreetonline belt in the trash for an OEM Honda belt. I just purchased the kit because I thought it was a good deal for good parts. People put the idea in my head that using a non Honda timing belt is not a good idea.
Oh yeah and some members in the past said prostreetonline used OEM honda parts.
Click for past thread . Why didn't I get Honda parts? :down:

i wasn't being sarcastic, i was merely trying to make a point. if they use oem honda parts, great. i would call prostreetonline and ask THEM, otherwise, you can't assume it's an oem part. we just have your best interest in mind here, that's all. i want everyone's car to run perfect, get great gas mileage, etc.
