I bought this car at 140k and have not done timing belt change or any belts change for that matter. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable driving it so much so I want to get the timing belt done. My friend told me three. Important things to change will be timing belt water pump and balancer belt. Do you guys think I should do more replacements like to the pulleys or anything. What all will I need to get this done and have a safer car?
Car at over 250 k need new timing belts pz help

It's a little annoying having people say replace your "serpentine belts". It's like "Headers on a 4cyl. Theres only one. We 4cyl guys DO NOT have "serpentine belts". A "serpentine belt" is ONE belt, that goes around the crank pulley and slithers and winds (like a "serpent") its way around all the other accessory pulleys like so...
We have separate accessory drive belts. One for the power steering pump, and one for the A/C compressor like so...
Some (like myself) also consider the balance shaft belt an accessory belt. But i'll leave that open to your own interpretation. oh well, anyways...
All "serpentine belts" are "accessory drive belts", but seperate "accessory drive belts" are not a "serpentine belt". They don't look like a serpent.

PM that guy. I was gonna buy it but i had Just bought stuff from someone else.
I'm in your same situation. just hit 252k. I bought the car at 202k and have no idea when the last time my timing stuff was done. Heres a list of the parts I have bought. Many are not necessary for this job, but I figured as long as i'm ripping stuff apart i might as well go all out.
** = Most common
-Timing Belt**
-Balance Belt**
-Power steering Belt**
-A/C Belt**
-Water Pump**
-Balance belt tensioner & Spring**
-Timing Belt tensioner & Spring**
-Balance shaft seal
-Camshaft seal
-Front main seal
-Valve cover Gasket**
-Spark plug Gaskets**
-Distributor shaft O-Ring (Most don't do this. Mine is leaking)
-PCV Valve Grommet (Again, most don't do this. Mine is leaking)
-VTEC Solenoid gasket (Yet again, most don't do this. Mine is leaking)
-Oil Pump (Just because I don't know when or if it was ever done. Most likely me being paranoid and overdoing it)
