Default newbie question

Hello everyone at this forum.

I just got a 2002 Saleen non superchaged version. It has about 43k miles on it. Any suggestion on maintenance? I just changed the engine oil and fuel filter past weekend. The brakes, tires and rotors were changed by the previous owner. This is going to be my daily ride so anything else i should look into changing?

Thanks all

no need to replace mach speakers. they are one of the best factory speakers you can get. as for an amp, id say kicker or jl are one of the best, but you can pick up a pioneer amp at wallyworld for like 120
