+1 on that, Mike. When I first started reading the forum I had this list going - AOS, MAF, O2 sensors, water pump, clutch.....and on up to about 4 or 5 grand by the time I was done. Then I realized I was breaking one of my main rules - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Decided I'll fix things when and if they break and I'll probably save a fortune - after all the car could get written off tomorrow and all that time and money would have been for naught. Chasing what might break can work out to be pretty expensive insurance.
I think there are a couple of exceptions to this: I buy into what Jake is saying about water pumps - results don't lie. I will also upgrade my IMS bearing, but only when I need to go in there anyway for an rms or clutch and, like most people, I'll do all three at that time. The gamble here is that the IMS won't be the first of the three to fail.
If I'm one of the unlucky ones that has one of those engine-destroying failures, that will be my excuse to replace it with some serious horsepower. It's an ill wind that blows no good!
