Hey guys think its time to change my timing belt maybe but not too sure on what part number or whatever I need to do this, but did see this on ebay. What do you guys reckon?

From someone who cant get the name of the engine right (IJZ-GTS) nor can they get a picture of the correct engine to go with it then i would keep my money and get one from your Toyota Dealer. Dont cut corners here cause it might end up costing you an Engine.

V-Belt and timing belt are both pretty cheap. I wouldn't be too worried about buying OEM, just make sure whatever you get has some kind of guarantee backed by a reliable company.

Yeah that timing belt on Ebay seems expensive. I think I paid like $60 or something for mine.

Thats a Gates timing belt. Tuff as app. they engine pic is off the packaging so its not ment to show the right engine. Is a little XXy tho, The full kit I'm going to get from autobahn is about $180. (tensioner and belt.)

Honestly, isn't a belt a belt? Even if you are running stupidly uprated valve springs I doubt you would need anything more than a standard belt, it's still going to last 5 years/100,000km.
