Default 80,000 mile mark!

You see correctly. My 03' Track just hit 80k miles and I was wondering what you guys think needs to be done with it mechanically. Oil has been changed every 3k. New clutchmasters stage 2 installed at 60k. New brembo brake pads around 55k. Anything I should get checked out??? Or is my baby ok for another 80k?!?!?! Thanks for the help!

Original dampers with 80,000 miles? This is where you will get the best bang for your buck.

NOTE: You replaced brake fluid, transmission fluid and differential fluid at about 60,000 miles right?

Your shocks are probably toast and you may want to check your bushings since they usually start to give out around this time.

Manual says inspect, not replace for all three. Do you have a different schedule?
