And the sleeves that the seals ride on. Remember to empty the oil cooler on the oil change. And aftermarket fuel lines or new ones if not installed already. You don't want your nice car to catch on fire. In fact change out all the fluids. Brake fluid, bleed the clutch with new fluid(it shares the brake master cylinder resivoir), new coolant(bless it with the nose up in the air), new trans oil, yes engine oil and don't use a fram filter as you may know, and clean the Power Distribution Block. You'll find my write up on it under Distribution Block cleaning.

Empty the oil cooler? What are you suggesting? Undoing the connectors and draining

+1 on replacing the fuel lines under the hood. I'd argue that has surpassed the belts as the number 1 thing to check/replace on these cars. Even catastrophic engine failure from a broken belt is manageable compared to a full-on gas-fueled fire...

+2, completely agree. Stories of engines 'destroyed' by broken timing belts, particularly on low-CR Turbos, are overblown.
