are you talking about the timing belt change? check out ecstuning's 'ultimate timing belt kit', it comes with everything you need...except a water pump o-ring and snub mount, and front cam seals if you want to be on the safe side

well i looked in the manual and it said ribbed belt and vbelt. One is for the ac compressor and one is for the powersteering pump. i was just wondering if thats all you have to do. Im also not going to change my timing belt until i hit 100 thousand miles.

You could probably do all of them at 100,000 if you wanted. If either of them snap, it wont do any huge damge to you car ... unless you hit a tree cos you cant turn. Mine were done at 135,000 kms

Pushing the timing belt change to 100K is probably a risk. Lots of people have had premature failure of the timing belt or tensioner. Your engine is toast, as it is an interference engine.
