Default 100k maintenance on my HR. Let me know what I else I need.

What else do I need? I already did the oil, trans fluid, and going to change out the bulbs in the headlights. It was a Florida car so most things are in pretty good shape.

Other than the spark plugs is there anything else the engine needs?

Ill change out the struts over the winter as those are probably not up to snuff anymore. Are there any bushings that wear out in 100k on these vehicles? (other than diff bushings but I'll do that over the winter too)

Please let me know anything else I should be adding to this cart before I order. Thanks guys.

I'm going to let the read diff be for now. No point in changing the oil if I'm just going to be installing a clutch LSD in the near future.

Good call on the drive belt. Checked my intake boots. They felt new. Actually, my entire engine looks brand new. I have never had a vehicle with such a clean engine bay

I'd really reconsider buyingan aluminum radiator from Koyo or other known brand (the larger capacity aluminum radiator). If you ever plan to do anything with the car there is no point in replacing it then. Throw a little extra cash on one of those radiators since you are already replacing it and be done.

Are you just replacing the radiator to replace the radiator? Never heard of someone doing that for "maintenance"

He mentioned in his purchase thread that it the OEM unit has a leak.

It's common here in Florida with the heat from the engine plus the weather. The cheap OEM units tend to crack after a while.
