    If you have a full day, tools and take your time the timing belt is not that difficult of a job. You can buy a kit for relatively cheap. If you go oem parts as I did the parts will be in the $600 range. The aftermarket kits around $200. If you have it done the labor will probably add $3-400.

    How's the old gal doing these days? The guy I sold it to in the North East did a lot of de-modding - he removed the Rodeo prototype chrome mirrors, the Axiom shift handle, and a number of my other favorite mods. I lost track of it after he sold it.

    It looks more aggressive now with the big wheels a tires, lift and roof basket. I hope she is as good to you as she was to me! I regret selling her often. I now drive a Chrysler 300C with the Hemi. Totally different car, but like the VX - they are fun to drive (in a different way than the VX) and fun to mod!

    Wow, I'm glad I had mine done professionally then! It cost me $700 for an OEM belt and water pump installed!
