3-5k oil changes religiously.
4-Get ISTA,INPA,laptop & K/D-can cable and learn to use it.
5-Do as much as you can yourself.
6-Enjoy the shit out of this platform.

Thanks for this! Just replaced water pump, ps pump, ac compressor, alternator, valve covers, nrw vanos covers, control arms, wheel bearings, short shifter. Next will be dropping subframe and replacing all suspension components. Bought the car to learn how to work on cars and trying to restore it back to it's previous glory.

Been using tis for all repairs. ISTA would be great but haven't really had a need for it just yet. Would have been helpful for the transmission fluid.
