Hey guys,

I bought my car 3 months ago put 3k miles on it so far and I am now at 32K. Upon purchase I got brand new brakes all around besides my rear rotors... I bought these and will install shortly...

2 Rear Centric Rotors
Swapped 6 Plugs
Swapped 2 Coils
Oil Change at 32K miles
Dual Cone Intake
FMIC Upgrade

I am running the Open Flash Tablet tune but haven't been going crazy. I have a small injector leak on cylinder 6 which I will be swapping...

Injector 6 Swap
Walnut Blasting
Coolant Flush
Brake Flush
Replace Front Control Arms (not sure if lower or higher but 2 of mine are leaking)


What else maintenance wise would you guys do? I am not doing anymore performance modifications, eventually I want to do coils and wheels but maintenance is key before all those things...

Transmission, power steering, coolant, engine oil, brake, differential fluid changes.

Clean your intake valves and intercooler.

Replace air conditioning filter.

Alignment.

Spark plugs.

Make sure tire pressure is good and wear is good.

Run a fuel system cleaner just for peace of mind.

Replace your engine air intake filter/replace with aftermarket.

Replace valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, PCV vanos solenoid with upgraded Rob unit.

I already did plugs, coils, tire pressure and wear is good. I think alignment is fine. I upgraded to DCI already. I did my oil, FMIC upgrade.

I am about to do injector cylinder 6, walnut blasting, coolant flush, brake flush, power steering flush.

How much is it to replace valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, PCV vanos solenoid? How much for alignment? What fuel system cleaner do you recommend?

The gaskets and solenoids are cheap, about $100 for all three I think. I DIY with a friend so dunno shop cost. My alignment was like $70 with a coupon and got me one alignment now and one in 6 months. I used Lucas fuel treatment and only needs to be used once every 50k miles or so.
