Message	Hello all! My Z is nearly going to reach 104k on the odometer, and I've decided to do the 120k timing belt change in a week or two. I know it's probably early, but I have the feeling the previous owners let it sit for a long time. Everything rubber seems to be rotting/crumbling and I'd prefer for peace of mind to get this done before it's too late. I was planning on getting the SZ 120k kit and have a shop install it that has done a lot of work on my Z. It's not the type of task that I would feel comfortable doing on my own, too many things to mess up. Are there any upgrades / maintenance that people would suggest be done at the same time? I know some people will suggest underdrive pulley, but I think that I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. I'm thinking about upgrading cams, (not sure if that makes sense at this time), but if I can't pass emissions (Colorado), it's definitely going to be something I'll pass on. Is there any preventative maintenance that someone could suggest? Love this car, want it to last. Thanks!
