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.
