Use photobucket

Also the timing belt I'm sure someone on here can help you with.

Don't upload pics as attachments. Go into the Gallery (link at top of page), choose a category, and then create an album. From there, you'll be able to upload larger pics.

$320 for a tune up? Yikes? How many miles? FYI- alot of people on here do their own service and would be willing to assist you if you were interested. Next time. Most of what they do for that $320 can be purchased on your own for about $100 (if you have an automatic transmission). I haven't done a timing belt on my Protege yet. I'm approaching 60,000 miles but I think I'm going to wait until closer to 90,000 before I do it. The good news with the Protege motor is that if the belt does break, you won't screw up your motor- it'll just leave you stranded.

does 1k for a timing belt seem a little hi? haven't done one on a mazda. I know hondas, run around 600-700 and I found a place that will do it for 400....but again
that is honda.... just wondering.

Had mine done through TC's it was like 650 for timing belt water pump and both drive belts. I would not pay 1k for just timing belt and water pump. They had it for about 5 hours at most. dropped off in the morning, picked up that afternoon. Definately rec. them. They mainly deal with honda subaru and I think mitsubishi but had no problems working on my mazdaspeed. If you want there info 03_mazda pm me and I will get you there info.
