<< How many of these tools has everyone found necesary to purchase?  I am
doing
 my clutch this week (hopefully) and I am just wondering if I will need 

  the clutch alignment tool-yup, a clutch tool anyway, most autoparts stores
can order  them.

 and the holding fixture tool to hold the flywheel or pressure plate.- nope,
just have a friend hold onto the bolt head thing on the crank pulley.  put a
extension to a breaker bar, and presto....

  I know I need the OX sensor tool- socket? I dont think you will have the
room, I use a wrench

 injector remover- or pull the valve cover  (more leverage) and use vicegrips
for an 8v, never pulled an injector on a 16v

 valve adjustment spanner thing- lost ya, what year car? solid lifter head I
will assume, no experence there

timing belt tensioner tool- ah this is the best, take a fork (not really nice
silver or anything) and bend/cut off the middle two prongs.  cut back the
outer two (to reduce flex) and bend them over, wallah...
