Okay, so Now that I have the PCV pretty much done, I have found a couple other things I want to do before i button everything up. I plan on replacing some vacuum lines, because after 16 years, they HAVE to be questionable at best. I'm now working on a list of things I want to do to it once it's back together, and was looking for other suggestions from people. It's almost all maintenance stuff. Some stuff probably DOESNT need to be done, but I'd rather do it for peace of mind, and KNOWING the date it was done. Here's what I came up with so far:

Again, it's a 1994 turbo wagon

1) timing belt (looks good right now)
2) Brake fluid flush
3) coolant flush
4) window tint
5) wheel spacers for the rear
6) roll the fenders
7) manual boost controller
8) driver's side outer tie rod end (it's starting to go bad)
9) manual transmission conversion (I have everything to do it)
10) exhaust replacement (it has a minor leak)
11) mesh grille
12) R wing
13) strut mounts

This isnt in any particular order, but it's just a list in the order I happened to write them down. Any other ideas and suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance, folks!

I always fix what's broke first, then tinker with other things.

Do everything maintenance first. Once you start doing performance anything, then you just put more strain on the weaker parts. And if you do one thing to one side, do it to the other side right away too. Don't just do one tie rod, do them both. And I would wait on the manual swap until you know the car is in excellent running condition. I don't even want to say what additional costs my manual swap created.


And why roll the fenders??? Are you putting 18s on it with fat tires?

 

Gilber: All the maintenance items will be the first things done. I'll do both outer tie rods too. I'm gonna make sure the car is at a good solid stage zero before i start tossing more power at it. I've already found a couple things I have to do - one of my intercooler hoses is bad - time to get the silicone hoses i guess...

As for rolling the fenders: 1) I have access to a fender roller and a friend who's very good at doing it and 2) yeah I plan on putting 18's on it with 225/40/18s.

I really appreciate all the suggestions though - please keep them coming.
