Re: [Mk2] [Generic] are NA cylinder heads the same as turbo's?

i spoke to someone at work who thought the cam belt sizes were differnet on his st185 and st205, so if MR2's use the same belts, there would be no off the shelf mish mash belt.... can anyone confirm that? cos im sure that would be pretty essential... :lol:
