This a question regarding a tune up for my car that I just got.
Ok, I need to get my car running as good as it is possible.
I just got it, and I have already done a few small upgrades/tune ups.
- New Cap/Rotor for distributor
- New plug wires
- New plugs
- wiring covers
- K&N Air Filter
- Cleaned out ISV
What other things should I consider?
I am making a list of things I should do.
I know i need to get a timing belt soon, and my battery is slowly getting down there. But besides that, I cant think of much else. How about oil or gas additives? Transmission fluid? I heard it doesn't need to be done on the Manuals, but is it suggested? Fuel Filter? Can't think of much else.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I always flush and refill the brake fluid. It did wonders on some of the cars I bought.
Flush/refill coolant, if you are really bored.
Besides that I would change the tranny fluid to synthetic (I am assuming you have a manual transmission).
I would also do a fuel filter with a tune-up.
Have Fun

Ok. Is this about all I really need? Can my list be compiled?

You might want to change the injector orings also. Your car should have come with Viton ones, but it will not hurt to change.

From Canadian Tire...
Its basically like a Wal-Mart, with emphasis on Car stuff... But has everything else...

How do you flush the brake fluid? And what should it be refilled with? Wal*Mart type stuff or something from the dealer?

Re: Simple Question (Moosar)

Others have posted, here goes anyway;
flush brake fluid - I use Castrol LMA (dot 4)
new fuel filter
O2 sensor, if history is unknown
fresh transaxle oil - I like Red Line, call them for the exact application
oil & filter change
Happy wrenching,
