Thread: who sells the cheapest timing belt / water pump package?

  1. #1

    Default who sells the cheapest timing belt / water pump package?

    I'm going to run mine until it breaks probably (since 'm holding out for a swap car),. but need to have one laying arround just in case.

    FM wants way too much money.

    There is a vendor on Ebay that sells the belt, the pulleys, and the pump for $99, and a few reports on Miata.net say he is actually selling new name brand parts.

    Here you go. It looks like he is currently out of 1.6 kits... he had some last time I looked and I suspect he will have them again in the future.

    From Miata.net:
    I bought it and found good quality parts (GMB water pump, idler, tensioner, CONTITECH belt) for far cheaper than the dealer

    Here is the thread on it.

    A little searching revealed that the seller has his own site where he lists the kits for $5 less than he does on EBay. He shows the 1.6 kit here. I don't know if I would order from him without the protection of Ebay, but that's just me.

    I got mine from autozone, it was just the belts and pulleys and it was about $30 cheaper than OEM.

    I ended up going through www.carpart.com . The important stuff was made by mazda, I bought the conti-tech timing belt, and all the stuff for a tuneup and new rubber, it came out to $150 with the water pump. Not bad.

    I bought all mine from Mazda Comp about 6 months ago. They actually had a brand new waterpump, MazdaSouth told me they could only get a rebuilt one.
