Donau, i have to say that i admire you for that effort, for all the time and money you spent and are going/ willing to spend on this great car. I wish you the best on this, and i hope everything will be great when all this is over.
Thanks Giannis! I hope to be able to post some positive news when the modification and tuning is all over and done with. The main thing I am looking for is improvements in drivability regarding the delivery of power. Instead of the "big kick in the pants" I hope to have a smoother delivery of power that comes on much earlier and lasts until redline. Also, those 17 year old parts had leaks in them so the new parts will provide more reliability. And some of the modifications that I had listed allow me to monitor the "tune" - condition of the car, and tune it easily myself if there is a need for it. Any increase in hp would be a nice bonus.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, by far the main benefit from this exercise is my own enjoyment of the process of getting to know my car. At this time I can't really think of anything more enjoyable I could be doing.

I just noticed your vacation notice Giannis: Have a great time and enjoy it to the fullest!
