The only modifications to the engine would be to increase milage and maybe mild performance. I've owned a 82 300D turbo sedan and the performance was ok even with the 3 speed auto trans, so I figured a figured a 1200lbs lighter car and a efficient 5 speed manual trans ought to be much better. So what I would like to know what reasonible mods will increase milage and maybe a little performance. Thanks, Zeke

Unless someone did a weird tranny swap, that '82 would have come with a 4-speed auto.
