Why do it so soon? Just wait another 100K...

Just kidding.
Take the car off the road... yesterday!
You are 40K overdue for a timing belt job. Since you're in there anyway, here is what I would change:

Timing Belt
Water pump
Water pump gasket
Thermostat
Thermostat "O" ring
Tensioner
Idler pulley
Front crank seal
Snub Mount
Accessory belt
AC belt
Flush/Fill cooling system
Oil Filter
Oil
Fish Paste

I would also replace all vacuum hoses, check cooling hoses for signs of wear (Bulges, cracks, holes, etc).
You will need a seal puller/installer. Get your kit from Blauparts.com and they will add $385 to your order, and refund $350 when you send back their tools Best deal I've seen, great customer service.
