    Talk About Work.

    I have had to do so much work to my 3g lately it's breaking me and pissing me off. In the last couple months I have had to Replace the back tires, replace a axle, redo the exahust, lift the back end, replace both lower ball joints, replace the clutch, replaced the tranny, new head gasket/exahust gasket/intake gasket, new tie rod end, fix the dash lights/head lights, replace a tail light bulb, new radiator neck, the list goes on...

    just remember that once you replace it, chances are that you won't have to again

    Since I've gotten mine, I've had to replace the main relay (well, just re-solder it), spark plugs and wires, fuel injector o-rings (got this done by the advanced auto shop at school), and valve cover gasket. Within the next month or two I'll be replacing the driver's side headlight assembly, driver's side fender, power window control box, and a working clock.

    Yeah, I read my chilton's manual and stuff, and it seemed easy enough, but I've only done basic stuff with my car so far, and didn't want to mess something up. But when I took it to the auto shop (i'm in intro to auto, the advanced class worked on it), it took them 3 days (about 5 hours). I thought it was just the fuel rail and that other bar there (don't remember what it's called) you had to remove, and then you could just pull the injectors out. Is that really all it is?
