I picked up a set of tools like this set-up from Sears, after I got tired of my cheap tools stripping out my bolt heads.

Its a good starting point of your wanting to build a tool collection up, just add some pliers and screw drivers to it. And maybe look into another box since, the stock one kinda sucks if your not careful because the **** might open on you. Other then that I'm happy with it.

The most important pieces are the sockets. I got the Sears 145 piece Mechanics Toolset for $100, of which 125 or so are actual sockets.
Allen wrenches are cheap, and yet for some reason they get counted as a single "piece" as well. Keep this in mind when you go shopping for a toolset.

you can use basic tools all the way down until the flywheel this is the hardest thing for most people just going into it! mazdatrix has a tool that you can take it off with also has the flywheel stopper! here is a basic list of the stuff you need;
flywheel stopper
2 1/8 socket for the flywheel
torque wrench
your basic set of tools as in sockets wrenches etc
oil
haynes manual
know the basics of the fsm
sealer or rtv
zip loc bags
sharpie
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!!
there is nothing worse than being unorganized espicially with these cars! if your making this in your garage than make as much room as possible!! cleAN out everything get a table to put all your stuff on. also it would be pointless to go to school for mechanics because they only teach you about pist-on engines i currently attend ati and thats all i learn about! so just invest that money into learning and tools because somethings can get expensive
Good Luck
