new 5kcstq



Just picked up my '87 5kcstq w/118k mi--drove it home to LA from SFO, no 
squeaks, rattles, drips, errors, drives & looks great.  CC, computer, 
sunroof, etc. all work great! :)  And now, the niggling probs...

1. Power locks not power or locking--vacuum leak?  Something else?

2. A/C not blowing out front dash vents, but seems to blow cool from 
de-fog vents.  What to check?  Heat works ok.

3. Radio is toast.  Any good aftermarket in-dash CD/receiver 
replacements someone can recommend?

4. What's a good leather cleaner/conditioner?

5. The fat black plastic trim on the bumpers is graying.  What's the 
best stuff to bring it back to deep black?  Also, there's some parking 
stickers on this part, is it worth trying some chemical to get those 
off--seems rather tricky.

6. I'm thinking of getting the headlights brighter--is that just a 
matter of replacing the bulb, or the whole assembly?

7. Anyone have an owner's manual or know where I can get one for this 
car?  Or a service manual?

8. Chip boost/eprom upgrades--worth it?  Anyone? Bueller? C.A.R.B. legal 
ones available?  Undt how much?  It's a ski-trip/commuter, so I don't 
want to blow my engine.  Perhaps stock is best, but if I can squeeze out 
20 or so reliable h.p., it's worth it.

9. It has weird size tires on it now (too high profile) on stock 
rims--what was the original tire size for this model?

gracias in advance
