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!
