Guys this is not suppose to be a plug for the company I work for so I wont even mention who it is. This is just to make some people aware, if they didn't know already, that there is something maybe better out there for them when it comes to timing belts.

I only became aware of it when a friend overseas asked me to chase it up and thought some users of this forum might want them as well.

Yes the company I work for sells gates belts But I dont work at Gates Australia so I am not plugging it for their sake.

Please dont think this is a commercial plug because I dont see it that way.

If someone has already advised people of this product, I am sorry. :oops:

The MX5 part no is T179RBELT for anyone that wants to chase up 1 through a Gates distributor.

Why would this belt be any better than a Mazda OEM one :?:

Yes, the color gives you a hot custom look. But look deeper. Constructed of HNBR elastomeric composites, Gates Racing Performance Timing Belts are 300% stronger than stock belts and deliver up to three times the heat resistance. You can count on them to hold up to the rigors of high horsepower, even with interference engines.

gates make a massive amount of OEM belts, im not sure who makes the mazda ones, but it might even be a gates belt.

the racing ones can be even cheaper than a new OEM from mazda.

that was the case for a skyline we tried the belt on.
