How hard is it to do your self? I am no mechanic, but I have done cam swaps on domestic cars by myself (just giving you and idea where I'm at). But I have ZERO experience with imports though. Is the timing belt very hard to get to? Does it require any special tools? Is there any step-by-step procedure out there that I can use for reference? I might do this myself if it turns out not that difficult. I'd LOVE to save the money...

Its not hard, just takes time due to location. Its on the side of the motor and there isnt a whole lot of room there. The single hardest part of this is removing the crank pulley bolt. After that the rest is removing the covers for the belt (and a few other misc parts) and removing the belt itself.

removing the pulley bolt really isn't that hard either. i had my doubts so i let a local mechanic do my timing belt but after putting on my underdrive pulley i regret not doing my own timing belt. it was so easy to get the pulley of, and i really don't think it would have been that daunting to change the belt and the waterpump while i was in there.
