[QUOTE="mrmustang, post: 15272594, member: 13150"] The first thing I installed on my second 95 "R" was a Panhard bar, which my first car had already installed on it when I purchased it. Makes the car "feel" firmer in the corners, far more predictable as well. Blow off sound could be a vacuum line leak/dryrot crack, my advice is to start teching the car, start at the top, work you way down to the chassis, then from front to back. Fuel lines, brake lines, radiator hoses, belts, etc and so forth. Rims, yes, susceptible to surface corrosion which can cause the paint to bubble. Finally, front and rear bumpers should come off to be properly painted, wiped down a few times with dewaxer/degreaser (automotive use only), then sanded as needed (400-1,000 grit), wiped down, washed off, wiped down again, then hit with a grey scotchbrite pad, wiped down again, then shot with the proper base/clear with a flex agent added to the mix. Hope you find this helpful. Bill S. PS: How did you enjoy being serenaded by all of the road grit on the way back :D [/QUOTE]
