Funny you should mention that about the plugs. Last month I went to do the same;The first 4 took about 3 hours, dropping plugs into the sheet metal on their way out too many times, getting them stuck crooked a few times, using a pair of tweezers to extract them, etc. Then the sun went down, so I stopped. The next day a friend lent me a small tool setup with the right length u-joint and extension, the last 2 plug went much quicker.

I just changed the timing belt in my wife's Tracer last weekend, the whole job took 2 1\2 hours. Less time than the spark plugs on my 911!
