Project Planning - Trip to Mechanic for 1987 300D
Hey all, thought I'd post up what I plan to do to the car and my progress so far and what not. I'll edit this post tomorrow I'm about to clock out. I'll get more into detail about future plans and current issues. For now what else should I ask my mechanic?
Completed items! Taking the football off my engine Fuel Filters Air Filter Known Issues: Sun Roof is so broke - I'll just seal it off for the weight savings. Rear View mirror fell off after the car was stolen. Speedometer is slower than real speed. Car Rumbles at certain RPM/MPH (I'll ask the mechanic about this) No AC - Might be taking this out for turbo I can drive with no key in the ignition! Must jiggle keys for heater to work. Things I'll ask my mechanic: Vac Hoses ALDA Boost Sense Line ALDA Adjustment Vacuum on the Fuel Tank Air In the Fuel System Low Boost Pressure Timing Chain Elongation, Valve Adjustments, and IP Timing Dragging Brakes, Differing Tire Size, and Boat Anchors Suspension rubber front and rear Things I want to upgrade: Purchased Items: Install Injectors Install new hoses Install Shocks Items to Buy: Springs Alternator Trunk Arcade Setup Rims and Tires Camber Kit Sway Bars Gauges Tweak boost, IP, Alda Brakes - Off the 500's Intercooler Cams Turbo Exterior - Body kit, Paint, head fog and tail lights Interior - Looks like a homeless guy has been living in the car =/ I want to upgrade seats and everything! Computer Navigation and LCD's WVO conversion - Not sure if this would be great in heavy tuned vehicle. Ultimate goal is to get on a magazine cover. Immediate goal to make the ride as nice as my 91 300E 450Hp's is the official goal! Last edited by RiceCakes619; 04-27-2006 at 01:44 PM. |
