Everypart of the car from a maintance point of view is pretty easy to get at. Brakes are just as easy as any other car, oil changes easily and you can get at most of the major stuff with no problems. Just dont think your gonna swap an engine or replace a clutch in an afternoon.

While you can do that at home, its just more tedious working on a mid engine car. I put an intake on mine the other day, that intake took me about 4 hours to install and trashed my arms all to hell. Seriously looked like I got in a fight with a cat or something. I'm also lucky I can contort my hands backwards and upside down or it just would not have been possible. Either way, it still wasn't that bad but I have a fairly good mechanical background with race cars and racing my own cars and building them for customers so that generally helps.

A good manual will get you 90% of the way honestly. The rest is all B/S/T...
