I bought my 1986 new; it now has 135k miles. I can only address three of your concerns. The Haynes manual, available from bookstores, is a lot better than nothing. I have found instructions which are incomplete or flat wrong, so don't just follow it blindly. Sparkplugs: everything I have tried besides stock NGK was inferior in some respect. My car is really tough on plugs, so if you start getting rough running or lower boost even after 5k miles, check the plugs first. On my car, the trip computer presents two different mileage figures. One is instantaneous, and it changes all the time. The other is an average of recent mileage, something like the last 10 miles or last 10 minutes. Neither will give an accurate overall reading for a whole tank of gas, except by sheer luck. Enjoy your car.
