[QUOTE=racer;7848198]Mahle air filter is cheap.. change it out... BASELINE the car if you can't be sure when things were last done.. Filters, Oil, Oil Filter, Brake fluid. Might consider fuel lines (rubber fails with time/heat)

Ajjra congrats on your car,all you need now it's to get it in tip top shape little by little & enjoye. + 1 Racer__ this basic tune up kit such as shown in the pic cost $40.00 not expensive for peace of mind.

I set the idle on the car yesterday to 1,000 rpm up from about 800. It took 3 full turns of the bolt from 100% full tight. Does that seem normal?

Default How bad are these?

I believe these are the A-arms that people say fail often (or maybe it's just the bushings) Do they appear, as best can be told from the photos, to be in bad shape?
