Hey all just thought I'd stop by and say hello. After owning 2 5.0s n svo. Then a Turbo Volvo, 68 beetle, I'm finally back in an 89 gt 5 speed all stock except for flowmasters! I can't wait to start Modding her up. I'm doing a full tune up this weekend. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, cleaning iac, maf, salt n pepper shakers, checking Tps, oil change. Did I miss anything? I've only had the car for a few days and only thing I can tell that's wring is that its missing a little bit through the rpms and the idles a little unsteady. I think my tune up should solve that though.

See my pics. I will add more later. If there's anything else I should add to my tune up let me mnie. Ill also be going an oil change n cleaning the throttle body as well as de greasing the engine. Looks like it hasn't been touched in years.

I was thinking about that as well. Maybe drain radiator, replace t stat, gear oil, brake fluid flush.

Thanks! Ya its in really good shape. About a 5 footer. Everything is original on it. Paint interior wheels etc. I got big plans for her. Just want to get her running tip tip before I start Modding. I already got a guy giving me some bbk headers and underdrove pulleys for an amp I have.
