tranny fluid... they recomend a radiator flush after 100,000 miles.. check your brake fluid, oil, rear differential fluid, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, plugs, tire pressure is good to check when you change your oil and its probably a good time to clean and relube all your suspension parts that need it.

tranny fluid, if your an auto, tranny filter, rear diff fluid, check all bushings, top off all fluids, check brake pads and rotors, plugs, wires, air filter, and fuel filter

haha the last time i checked the top speed i was trying to catch up to my friend on his kawisaki zx10r and i had the needle slammed at 150 then we exit i stop at the light and then i see cops all over us. they tried taking us to jail but they didnt have us on radar so all they got us for was 75 in a 45 on the service road.. and from that day on i have never taken my car above 100.. even though i have the valentine1 i still dont wanna pay a lawyer to fight for me and court fees[:@]

I change all the fluids,it cant hurt.
i use seafoam on my car a few weeks ago and i could feel the change it made,and yes it is safe.
i would get a can of that stuff and use it.but make sure you read up on how to use it before you
use it.
