Someone had started an exact same type thread last year or earlier this year, but I can't find it.

Hacker could find it - he is the Jedi Master of search.

I would say:

1. Timing belt/Water pump replacement
2. Passenger or Driver's side door handle hinge replacement
3. Odometer gear replacement.

On to No.3 soon.....

Refreshing the HVAC system. That was fun but it's pretty easy when you have all the parts, like most of the jobs on these cars.

Pulling the engine?

I think this was my answer last time:

Blue hose, and you not allowed to cut a window...

No credit given for checking tire pressures, fluid levels or opening the window a bit when passing wind for your rev limiter.

Any listed job qualifies for the level.

Level one: Reading and understanding the entire owners manual, tuneup and change of all fluids, brake pad/rotor refresh, radiator removal/hose replacement/belt replacement, seat removal for terminal carpet cleaning.

Level two: Clutch replacement, half shaft rebuild, belts, radiator and hose replacements, brake bleeding brake/hose replacement. Steering rack replacement.

Level three: Torque tube refresh, top end refresh, oil pan gasket/motor mount replacement, any job that involves removal of the pod, standard repaint.

Level four: Disassembly/assembly for glass out paint, engine rebuild, transmission rebuild, complete re-wiring projects...

If you can do any of level four items, you have passed into the inner circle of 928 wizards.

Hall sensor with nothing else removed, mostly for it's diminutive size and plethora of expletives.

Nice. But - pod job isn't that much once you've had it out. No grease, nice place to sit, well lit, couple screws, easy-peasy. Maybe level 2?

There is no such thing. Just when I'm sure I've fixed every possible "impossible" task, one of these cars provides me with a humbling new 20 hour job.
