It's time to flush my drivetrain again and I figured I would go ahead and do some extensive maintenance. The obvious ones:

-Motor oil
-Drivetrain
-Coolant
-Spark plugs
-Timing belt

Is there anything else I'm missing? Also, I'm considering upgrading to the HKS timing belt, instead of OEM. And I'm not sure what plugs to run. I'm used to running NGK-R's on all of my SR20's but I know Evo's are very finicky so I don't want to get something they don't like. I also have a full chassis polyurethane bushing set, but I'm dreading that install lol. Fortunately my car runs and drives like it has 60k miles, so it shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for any info.

 

Check all Suspension bushings, Change every oil and check for cuttings.

 

Did you replace the water pump when you did your 60k mile service?

 

Cuttings? I'm not familiar with that term.

 

Yeah,DakMarEnt pls enlighten us.

 

CLIFF!!! are you doing this right now right now? i have all the special tools that you will need for the timing, (timiing belt tensioner tool, grenade pin, piece that connects to the tensioner pully to adjust it, AND a plastic piece that hold the cam gears in place) all this will save you a huge headache! ill be in town on the 20th of december, or i can mail it to you now if you wanna pay shipping to you and back

 

Everything was replaced at 60k with Gates Racing equipment. Guess it is time to do it all again.

Asiel, I talked to you on FB already. Give me that link you were talking about.

 

I believe he is referring to metal particles in the diffs, trans and engine.

 

I just peeked at the maintenance schedule in the FSM and it says coolant hoses at 60K. Also, there's the idler and tensioner pulleys on the accessory belt. I'd suggest giving those a close inspection.

 

I would look into starter motor if that is when replacement is necessary for these cars.
