This car is so easy to work on
 

First time doing some bolt - ons besides the cat back, here how it went! This car is so easy to work on!

Just wait till you change your spark plugs.

You mean when you pay a garage 100s of dollars to do it for me

Why would he pay 100s of dollars to change your spark plugs?

It's not that hard. You just need to be creative. I've done mine just by removing a few stuff in the way. Took me about an hour and a cold beer...

Some things on this car are super easy and some are a super pain in the ass.

So just like any other car ever made.

I have a Mr2 turbo. Working on my 86 is like playing with Duplos compared to that car.

Correct. But a blanket statement that it's easy to work on isn't. But there is definitely a lot of thought put into bolt placement and stuff like that.


Here is an example:

That hose curves out for no reason other than to give a clear shot to the bolt bellow.

Agreed.

'81 Rabbit. Volvo 240. Those were/are kind of easy. Rust makes all things difficult. So far, my FR-S has been very easy to work on for me... since it's under warranty, I've had the dealership do everything. Very easy. We'll see how easy it is once the warranty runs out.. ;)

Easiest was my 58 Chev with the straight 6. You could almost stand beside the engine in the bay

Hardest was my 64 Econoline with the 351 crammed into the doghouse between the seats. Took 45 minutes of pulling panels just to put oil in it.

Closer to relent was my Corvair which was really really easy to do things such as change the belts but involved pulling half the car apart to do any other work at all. Nothing quite like having to remove the spare tire so you can change a sparkplug.

Attention to design for serviceability waxes and wanes. The 80s were especially dark times.

Especially considering the complexity, this thing was packaged amazingly. Sometimes I just lie there and marvel at how beautifully it's laid out.

How would you like to work on a GT-3?
