NightBlackRx7,

I'd recommend:

- Full 60K mile service/tuneup, (plugs, wires, fuel filter, timing, etc..)
- Fuel Injector cleaning
- New pulsation dampiner

Non critical stuff (ie as you go)
- shocks/struts
- new tires
- full allignment & wheel balance (have your rotary mechanic recommend a place as NTB, sears, etc.. usually screw it up)
- new suspension bushings
- new springs (120-140K miles)

Usually it's too late, but there might be a slight fuel smell under the hood just before the car erupts in flames. Just pop the cap off and hope that the little screw is still in its home or was sitting in the cap.

If you find something that needs to be replaced, upgrade to an aftermarket item if your wallet allows you to. For example, it you find your shocks are bad, don't replace them with OEM, get some good KYB's or Tokico's.
