Recently hit 100,000 miles....now what?
As the title says..
It's been a great car from the day I bought it. Haven't really had any major issues or had to replace any parts besides the ones called for in the service manual. Front right strut is making some noise and might need to check out the front wheel bearings but so far so good.
I have future modification plans but want to make sure everything else is sound. I feel like there has to be something that needs to be replaced lol. I want to look into doing more in depth preventative maintenance that may not have been covered in the service manual.
So my question is, what have you guys replaced due to wear and tear and at what mileage?
Edit:
I am all up to date on fluids changes, belts, oils, etc. I have followed and completed everything in the service manual maintenance schedule.

I know you have a 9, but in my Evo 8 I did the oil pump and water pump with timing and balance belts, serpentine and tensioners etc while in there.
Not all necessary, but great insurance if you are keeping it for a while. You can get a package deal price on all and negotiate with MAP. They rock and got me my best deal.

Are you up to date with all of the maintenance service intervals? Engine oil, drivetrain fluids, spark plugs, timing/serpentine/balance shaft belts? Maybe consider a coolant flush by now. Check coilpack wires to make sure nothing is wrong.
I had to replace both front struts and front wheel bearings (they were getting loud) at 90k I also did pads/E brake shoes/brake lines/ rotors to get everything back to par again. Other than that inspect your balance shaft belt/timing belt/bearings and make sure they are good. That is what I did and I’m at 100k now
well my ball joints on the control arm broke at 44k miles so i am now over paranoid about all those joints and will be replacing them every 20k miles depending on how i use it and if i can get mine rerunning again

lol used to remember hitting the 100k mark as being so scary! but no, this car will seriously treat you right as long as you keep up the normal maintenance. nothing has changed. 100k is just a number. seen countless stock block 150k+ mileage TRACK evos with big turbos still being daily driven. like i said treat her right and she'll take care of you
Good idea to replace water pump at 120k and the tensioner/ idle pulleys as well. This is of course when your doing your second 60k maintenance procedure (i.e. timing belt). Never seen anybody else that needed to replace the oil pump, unless they had low oil pressure. Also at 100k i would check to see if you have any "shaft play" in your turbo, if you haven't already done so.. Also flush the coolant if you haven't done so, like said previously.
103k, stock rotors here.
I just had to replace the oem battery tonight and it sounds like driver front wheel bearing is going so that is going to get changed shortly. Aside from that I might do some more preventative maintenance, i have oem struts/springs with 10k miles sitting in the garage just waitin for some use
