You've got a good list. I'd reconsider the five "new" injectors unless you've got a lot of cash to dispose of. If the injectors are suspect, the nozzles can be replaced and the set recalibrated for a fraction of new.

A set of nozzles is about $100. To get them pop tested and shimmed is another $100. or so.

Put some bleach on the floor in front of the tires, hold the brake and floor the accelerator.

kbenjamin0106 · #25 03-22-2008, 02:14 PM

haha thats the easy way. i want it to do it without that

Chad300tdt · #26 03-22-2008, 02:27 PM

Here's the hard way.

kbenjamin0106 · #27 03-22-2008, 02:39 PM

thats looks amazing, where did you find an intake kit for it?

Chad300tdt · #28 03-22-2008, 02:43 PM

i would admire it just as much as you would. i really am thinking to tune my benz to the extreme. but i cant decide witch one 83, or 85 go to my pictures and view both of them tell me wat u think

Chad300tdt · #30 03-22-2008, 02:53 PM

I'm not sure if the experts would choose the '85, but that's what I would use. That '83 is too pristine to mess with IMO.
