Definitely the water pump and timing belt tensioner. You will probably want to replace the accessory belts (A/C compressor belt and alternator belt) too. I didn't change the powersteering belt because I haven't decided if I'm going to delete the powersteering or not. I also had a couple seals replaced when I did mine. I think they were the cam shaft and crank shaft seals.

Thumbs up

SO i got the timing belt replaced, as well as all other belts repleced, New water pump, cam seal , and crank seal. All done at the dealership. Wish i could have done it myself, just not there yet. But i did keep all the old parts.
So i should be good for a while on that. oh yeah i also went ahead and got the valves adjusted as well.
