I wanted to say hi, and also that this forum has been so incredibly useful. I wanted to ask about the type of maintenance I should be doing with the car. the previous owner only really took it to get the oil changed and some maintenance. The car has 71,000 miles on it, and I wanted to ask what type of maintenance I should be doing. I have purchased an AEM cold air intake already, after finding the stock filter in the car to be grossly dirty, so that's not going to be a problem. Will a clogged filter really make a big performance difference? Also, I have changed the spark plugs to NGK Iridium, and NGK wires. Anything else that I may want to look into, to get the car running better?
welcome to automotive forums, i hope u find this place useful and speaking for all us, we hope u stick around. the guys mostly pointed out everything when it comes to the maintenance, and since ur at +70k miles, i reccomend u use a thicker oil grade, such as a 10w30 or a 10w40. another thing i noticed no one had mention, was the radiator fluid. if it was me, i would have it flushed just top make sure its thotoughly clean. also spend $10 for a fuel system cleaner, and take ur car to a good year to have ur brakes inspected for free, well it was free when i went, but that was quite sometime ago.
