I think I have done more early maintenance and unnecessary repairs then all those from the previous owner and I got the car at 53k miles in Nov. Do you have to do the gas filter and transmission fluid? If it is at that scheduled maintenance point then of course it makes sense. Like gschotland says getting it up to snuff can be a pia but in the end the piece of mind and the fun in doing it is worth it. I still have the water pump, engine mount, clutch, rms, ims on my list and look forward to doing it when the weather cools down. It gets really expensive when you start adding mods . I will say I probably won't be so positive if my coolant tank goes


Just turned 116k miles. The gear oil was done at about 50k and I didn't see a record for the fuel filter. I'm trying to get all the major maintenance out of the way and start fresh. Luckily, the tires are new, glass window top is new, suspension is tight, clutch feels great.

Next step is to check the cam timing at the dealer (ouch, $145) to see if the IMS is in good shape, if not, then its clutch, IMS and RMS for me too.
