Hey fellow CX peeps.
I'm in western NC and my timing belt is coming up due already. I haven't bought the equipment yet but I am trying to see if there is anyone close by who'd be willing to help a girl out. I'd already gotten some quotes from the nearby garages and shops and whatnot and they're looking at 500 or more not including cost of the parts.

So, if you're close by and may have some experience... let me know.

too bad you weren't closer. i'm sure there is someone near ya that can help.

Have you posted on ENCXC? Im sure there's people on there that'd be willing to help

too bad you weren't closer. i'm sure there is someone near ya that can help.

hey, I am due for my timing belt in the next 10k or so miles... would you be willing to help me? I can throw a couple bucks your way.. i rather save the additional money for a tube bumper i want :feuerkopf-big:

The right tools and prep are key. A good air ratchet to break off the pulley bolt is very helpful. i'd help but wrong side of the country.

Air ratchet? With a 27mm socket? You mean impact :) I use a Snap On similar to this ratchet but with a comfort grip. It's super sweet :)

ok.. still got no one other than talkers.... waiting.

you can fly james out n he can help u for about the same price. :) j/k james

I've got an odd feeling that everyone is wanting to send James...what's up with that?

I could possibly help if you cant find someone closer, hickory is about 2 hours away from me.

When I called around here in Savannah GA I got a bunch of horrible quotes at first, in the $1200+ area with parts. Finally I called a shop that has been around for 15+ years and they told me $612 for the belt and the water pump. With parts. Oh and also the tensioner and all that stuff too.

So if you cant find anyone call around again.

again, id help, but you are probably a 17-20 hour drive from me lol

Come to me and i'll help lol

Mirage is a good guy I think he is one of the only ones that's real close to you
