hey every1,

My FD has 99,800 miles on it right now, and i figure 100K is a good mark to check everything and do some preventative maintanence. Anyone want to add something to my list?



-motor, clutch, turbos have 29k on them so theyre good.

-Replace belt

-tranny already has redline in it, only ~5k old

-change diff fluid

-Planning on getting a jimlab bushing set

-new sway bar mounts, possibly new bar (my mounts are bent to hell)

-change brake fluid

-find a replacement twins manifold (mine has a crossthreaded hole)

-Change coolant

-New plugs

-New plug wires



any suggestions/comments are welcome

-Zach

Coolant hoses and thermostat to go along with the coolant change if they have not been done in a few years.



If the swaybar mounts have been under enough stress to bend I would check to make sure there has not been any damage to the car's frame rails as well.

i would just spend an hour or so and look over everything, make a list of stuff that nees to be fixed/cleaned/etc

DEFINATELY get the coolant hoses replaced.. Those two for the turbos are hard on every car I've looked at.. Mine burst the day I bought my FD...
