^ Most 20+ year old cars have **** loads of room in the engine bay such as my mums civic and mates pulsar, girlfriends mums Mazda Wagon.
It takes under a minute to take the valve cover off any of those cars, took me over an hour the first time I did it on my car.
Strut brace, throttle body etc etc.
Changing the oil in any of those cars is a 10 minute job, my car the oil filter is ALWAYS a hassle and has to be taken off with a screwdriver, there just isnt enough room.
Hydraulic clutch = pain in the ass, bleeding the system took far to long.
Luckily I have never had to but burping the coolant system is also far more difficult in these cars.
Also the Cambelt isnt as easy as it should be on the 3S-GE
Im not saying its a "hard" car to work on, but there is just a lot less room in the engine bay which is more similar to newer cars with all the plastic etc.
