for pice see this thread on the front page of the Zetec section the belt should be changed about every 60,000 miles
2003 Subaru WRX some mods
Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

thinking about it now, it could have been. when i held the tensioner up to a light you could see the cracks, they were about 180 degrees apart and kinda close to the edge. of yeah all three pullies were rounded off to the point that the timing belt was not centered on the cam gears. I though I do not recal any running problems
