I am looking for those that may have taken on this type of replacement project and what your experiances were. I am a hands on dude, but this one looks like a nightmare. Should this be left in the hands of experts (to screw up other parts like they usually do) or is it easy to do if one approaches this like heart surgery? Any good web sites (or experianced experts in the Phoenix area that would enjoy a weekend doing this and $150 / day working on it with me) that may assist me?

This is a great MR2, not super, and definetly not a clunker qualifier.
