Im with ya,when my cars are out of warranty i do everything myself apart from services to keep stamps in the book,both jobs are fairly big to do and you will need cam locking pins to do the belts,i think pwmotorsport was selling some on fleabay.autodato do a very good book on cambelts if you need a step by step guide, i have one they come in handy on more complex cars,front end needs to be in service mode for acsess but fairly straight forward,clutch may require some engine angle jiggling to get to the bolts at the top of the bellhousing but cant see any major probs if you have the right aproach and a ramp.good luck
