My 1980 928 had 50K original miles until 3 years ago when I took it off the parents hands who kept it in the garage. I've spent over $10K in strictly mechanical repairs including, starter, battery, flywheel, waterpumps(2 as of this week), timing belts, injectors, steering rack, just about every motor seal, some tranny bearings, rotors, hoses, belts etc etc. The car looks good with the newer turbo style wheels in 18's running 225 up front and 265s in back plus S-type spoilers. My concern is what sorts of major things tend to go wrong at around 90K miles even though the car has been maintained very well. Any thoughts?

Feeling Somewhat Nervous about my Shark...

ps The car still stumbles a bit under full throttle and I don't think its the wire from the distributor to the brain or the wire to the temp. sensor near the main radiator hose. <img src="graemlins/icon107.gif" border="0" alt="[icon107]" />

 

Have the lower aluminum ball joints been changed?

 

No changes there. I had Eibach springs and new Boge struts put in with the height adjustments and upper spring seat the 928s's have to drop it a bit. No problems have surfaced and due to a creak noise which was actually just related to the cylindrical dust shield or whatever its called covering the strut, my mechanic absolutely went through everything. Lubed etc etc. It took two visits to figure that crazy noise out! Any other probs. you've encountered that seem "common" around my mileage at 90K?
