TB may look like brand spanking new but @ 116k its internal structure is severly weakend. $500 is an average for this kind of repair, it takes about 3 hours to complete...

Is there any different types of timing belts for us?? other than OEM, somewhat like the Cadillac chain timing belt or something like that??

Lol what..
Some cars having timing chains and some cars have timing belts.
We have belts as you know and yes you can buy an aftermarket belt if you wish, you don't need to go with OEM. But being that its not much cheaper to buy aftermarket and the OEM one is proven durable being that its been on the car already, I would just stick with that one.

not sure if that was a question or not
but ya chains, and they are way better. this guy I know said that it only has to be changed once every 500 000 miles rather than 105 000. I was just wondering if there is anything better than oem that we know about?

and you still would need to replace cam seals, valve cover gaskets, water pump, valve adjustment, tensioner, etc with a chain. The only part you dont need to touch is like a 35 dollar belt.
just because your chain lasts 500k doesnt mean everything else on the engine will

Your forgetting that chains are heavier than belts. Chains are needed in non interferance engines where if it failed the valves would hit the top of the pistons.

water pump with gasket
thermostat and gasket (not pictured)
timing belt tension adjuster
timing belt tensioner
timing belt idler
both accessory drive belts
front crankshaft seal
two front camshaft seals

I need to have my 105K maintenance done..........but that $900 Acura bill is VERY scary lol.
Do you think I'll notice a difference in how the car performs once the job is completed? I feel like it's lost some "spunk" especially in the lower gears. Doesn't seem to pull off the line as fast as it used to and the engine just seems kinda weak.

after parts and labor I shelled out over 1000 dollars. I did it without complaints because I knew it was being done right and that it would ensure that my engine would last another 105k.
I felt a gain in power probably due to the spark plug change and the valve adjustment.
