3rd gens aren't as bad as the 4th gens to work on. You actually have a decent amount of room.

Spark plugs are now quite easy to change on my 4th gen with aftermarket headers. Takes 20 minutes. With the stock manifolds I agree though, it's quite the task to change plugs.

I will just leave this here

>>14186931

My generator has a 4'x3'x4" radiator to cool 220 horses. I don't see anything that size fitting in a 4th gen

boxster is easy as balls

I drive a '95 Trans Am.
Fuck that engine bay.

>>14186440
None of the DSMs are really that difficult. The GTO is fairly cramped, though.

Your generator? As in stationary equipment?

This is why i only own 90's honda transverse inline fours.

Boxsters and Caymans are surprisingly easy, since they have access hatches in the cabin.

only plugs are hard 2 change in a 4th gen.
everything else is not hard.
>>
>>14187052

This.

The EJ series of engines is not that hard to work on. Lot's of modern econoboxes are wayyy more cramped then a Subaru engine bay.

To put a bigger more efficient engine with twice the output.

There is a second serpentine belt behind the visible one on the supercharger. Changing it calls for 4+ hrs of labor. I don't even know how mine looks and I've never fucked with it.

Maybe it's my autism acting up but I hate it when people say ambiguous things like 'Audi A4' or '328i' or 'C180'. How the fuck am I supposed to know which car you meant? What year? What version? What engine? Fucking dumb cunts

>>14186440
>Jaguar XJS V12

You must be kidding me. The Jaguar V12 is easy as hell to work on. It's Merc and BMW V12s that are a massive pain in the ass.
>>
VG33E Nissans

Why do they always point the fucking hose clamps AWAY from any sort of serviceable position?
>>
>>14186440
any 1.8t A4 is easy as pie. Such a small, simple motor.
