Ordered up my water pump and timing belt kit last night! Should be here within two weeks. Anyone have any ideas for a new coolant overflow reservoir? Mine is smashed from the deer still...

Anyone replaced their own timing belt? I'll be doing it myself, just wondering if there's anything helpful someone has to share. I have a printout from Alldata to guide me.

So, I'm literally halfway done with the pump/belt replacement. But the eBay supplier sent me a very incorrect tensioner pulley lol... The job isnt all that bad. I would rather be fabbing new stuff than fixing things.
Hopefully I get the correct part in a day or two...
Didnt snap a pic with the belt and water pump off because I was mad ha.

It was exactly three hours from starting, to being done cleaning off rtv from the water pump area on the block.
Really just waiting to get the right pulley to put it all back together!

Ebay vendor is super nice! I sent them pics and a good explanation. I'm getting the right one Tuesday.
Tomorrow I'll put on the new pump and other idler pulley though, I can do that at least

September 8th and 9th this year, there are time trials on a local drag street. If my car is running fine then I'll enter it . It's an 1/8th mile, side by side racing... Mostly drag style cars, so I'll be in another class lol.

And we have a new timing belt and water pump! No leaks or anything either Definitely have to thank my friend Andrew that has the Mr2 on my youtube channel...
I also found out through a tech at work, instead of running coolant... Dring root 100 and coke after working, fill radiator when the drink exits. Adds 6hp at the wheels
Video for proof of life! lol
