Hi all CL members

Name is Vincent

I was recently involved in a 18 wheeler accident totaled my car and walked out of there still alive...Enjoying my new life I took the check and decided to join CL.

Found this 99 blk/blk for 9k 140k miles in great condition..... I'm starting small but I already changed out the filter with a k&n drop in and also replaced the cabin filter.. changed the oil and now I want to try out those TM spark plugs you guys are talking about.. also changed out all the bulbs in the headlights fog lights running lights you name it ...I changed it out.... dun worry new shoes..suspension..and new kit is on its way but my question to you guys is what else can I do to make sure the car is in top notch running condition?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to CL, way to start off new
Just check the timing belt, make sure its been changed and check tranny fluid for cleanliness, other than that, car is a work horse

timing belt and tranny fluid ...gotcha... I'm on it... wassap with the AMSOIL fluid.. what's so special about that fluid can any of you guys clarify this for me.

I also want to order some springs ...either the tien s tech or the df210 which is more favored here in CL and also the df210 what color are they? I came across some white ones and red ones...is one imitation or do they just come in two colors like that...any help would be appreciated thanks a lot guys.
