you should change air filter with a k&n oil+filter spark plugs there is no timing belts it is a chain that you dont change. change all lubes i try to change all my lubs except oil every 10k oil every 3k or 3 months

i have a new intake n my filter is good i have new plugs n wires..

ne thing else buddy

Cornbread01

well i would just change all the lubes (rear end, tranny, radiator, oil) and you can check your brakes if needed

ive done rear end but not radiator n tranny

yea i would diffenatly do the rad and tranny is it auto or 5 speed and do the fuel filter too... if you do the fuel filter disconect the battery or your a/f ratio will be messed up

First, I talk nice to it..

Second, I rub baby oil on it..

Third, lightly use the tips of my fingers to tickle the top of it..

Forth, I rub it............ Wait, your talking about maintaining your car.... My bad.. Never mind.. [sm=insomnia.gif]

i think once i put good manual transmission fluid 5th gear will be better and i was looking into a good fuel filter u have ne ones ud recomend
