Re: Its Finally Time, and looking for tips
My car sat for four or five years. Originally it was because it needed a new water pump, then because I got severely hooked on autocrossing, had a son, had to crunch at work, etc...
From my experience, I'd recommend getting a timing belt and all new timing idler pulleys. I bought a nice kit on ebay. I think it was probably this kit:

I also replaced the actuator while I was at it, but the one I took out of the car was really fine. I bought mine from Advance.
I had to replace my drive belt idlers. Honestly, I could have just replaced the bearings in each, but I replaced the pulleys, too. Shiny.
Your brakes, like mine, may never be right again. The rotors may need to be replaced or turned.
