I would like to know exactly what i need to change my timing belt.

The belt of course, but do i NEED the tensioner and idler?

it would be a good idea to replace the tensioner and idler as well as the water pump while you're in there. just as a preventive measure.

I would stick with OEM personally on those parts. You might as well change the passenger side Motor Mount while your at it too, as well as all other mounts if you have not done it already. Just a suggestion!

Dude, talk to *************** on here. He can get you everything you need. A new belt, tensioner, idler, water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket.. that should be about it. Anyway, he carries it all and last I knew he had some awesome prices on all his stuff too.
