Some things I would suggest are sparkplugs, transmission oil flush/change, coolant flush/change.. brake pad/rotor change? I dunno.. I think someone else would have some better suggestions

I already dida tranny flush, pads are still good for now..
I'm pretty sure I gotta change the timing belt also,
what kind of plugs do you guys think i should get ?

 
Rep Power: 308

I don't have my manual on me, but I'm positive the timing belt is after 100k .

I guess you can check ur belts to make sure they arent cracked or drying up.. everyone says you should go with the NGK Iridium IX?

 
Rep Power: 295

well, i have 113 KM but thats bout 70 miles... and ya, i did check my manual. When they say change the brake fluid, where do I find the plug to flush it ?

NGK Iridium eh... is there a certin temp that I need them at ? My engine is bone stock.

70k :P meep meep
Thx Gear !!! oh... and anyone have an answer to to flushing the brake fluid ?


air filter - Done already
greased lightning fuel system cleaner - I will pick some up
gas line antifreeze (do not combine with above) - there is antifreeze already added to canadian gas
4gauge ground wires to upgrade stock - I think I will go with 2g, stock grounds are all oxidizing Good recommendation
brake fluid - how do you flush ?
tranny fluid - did 5k ago.
a/c service - I will leave it for the summer
cooling system service - ??????
oil change - done
timing belt (and crank pulley) - I will done
cabin filters - wait for summer
fuel filter - Ive read that its not really that important. Ive only used premium brand name fuels.
alignment - did 4 months ago w/suspension upgrades
thermostat - since i'm gonna do a rad flush, might as well...
compression check - DIY of course... just gonna rent the guage.

Thx for everything guys...

cooling system basically drain/refill green antifreeze and replace thermostat (inside the flow of coolant).

:P rad flush... you should have just said that... you gearbox, making things all complicated

 
Rep Power: 308

You have to bleed the brake fluid from each wheel... I'm suppose to be writing a DIY on that I have picture but hey i'm lazy ..

Anyway the There is a Bleeder screw on The caliper in the front, and on the drums in the back you stick a small piece of clear vinyl hose on that and loosen that. someone pushes the brake down, tighten the screw while brake is depressed all the way. and keep repeating the process for each wheel, and always checking to make certain the brake resiovoir is full.

hehe, would you mind sending me some pics on how u are bleeding them..

 
Rep Power: 811

ya 4jacks is right. Just vacuum out the old cabin filters.

 
Rep Power: 308

Sure, I'll see if I can dig em up when I get home. Can you post up your e-mail so I don't have to look it up...

I am lazy you know
