hey just got the car and test drove it to see if anything diff, one diff i notice is the car has more hp, more hp n the sense when i step on the gas it actually move faster/stronger than before, the guy who install the belts for me said that my belt was already showing wear and he said something was wrong like off by one i really cant remember what it was he said but thats what made the diff. my car is auto and i can say it is faster now n acceleration not that i gain any hp u know. one reason i change them now is cause it was smelling and making weird noise. anyway i got them done at this place i know well, if u keep going on northern pass the honda dealer u make a right on 108st and a left on 47ave and thats it that corner. all those shop around there charge $300 but i knew the guy so he got me a deal. $500 new front bumper and painted and also painted some scratches and install the complete timing/water pump package also he change every fluid since i have never change them including anti-freeze and also flush the radioator all that stuff lol like power etc... i usually only change transm and oil thats it. yes if u go to one of those shop like for the gas station they will rippp u off just like the dealer. i will never forget when i went to one of those shop and they wanted $800 for new o2 sensors lol got them for under $200 autozone lifetime warranty, pay $45 for labor which u can do urself takes 5 mins most. hey also got my friend a deal with same paint from the bumper the guy painted my friends 2 mirrors since we both have same color car for free. look around thats the key. now that i got my car back when is nice outside i will take pics
