WTH is a timing belt?

something that gives you the sh$ts every 4 years if you own a renault clio 172.
you need mirrors.
you got to pull half the front off the car.
etc.
and you need a hoist or your life would be hell.
up and down.
on and on.
whats that special tool again. where did we put it.

apparently according to my mechanic genius mike, the 928 is a lot easier to do the clutch on than than a 924. can you believe it. not that i would know.
but a 924 is as bad to deal with as a modern day maseratti or ferrari with the front engine torque tube rear gearbox set up. i'm observing him dealing with a 10 year old masser at the moment. its all dropped. the lot. from the engine back. it seems you do not have to do this with a 928. i'm not sure how, but thats the story i just got told.
