For Sure: 
Coolant Flush (Maybe replace hoses for the heck of it)

Just did them at our local tech day... and it took a guy who has done his (and he works on jet aircraft for a living) and I about 3 hours to do them.
The rear top hose connection is a b*tch to get to!!!!

When we did my hoses, did the thermostat also, since we had the housing off, and antifreeze out....
Only problem was the upper rear hose clamp.... it was in a position that gave us fits to get off.....
Took us like 6 times bleeding the system to get the air out also....
Oh well, should be good for another 16 years!

Damn looks like the Mamba right now too. New front splitter, rotors, brakes and fluid. The rear diffuser is next just waiting for parts to get here. Looking to get her detailed later in the summer. Wish I was going but bigger plans in the summer. Should be there in the fall hopefully. Later BD

Diff changed at OKI Tech Day (Lunken Airport). Also did tranny there, but had it re-done, as we developed a new leak, that we finally diagnosed at the slave Master Cylinder. Will have that replaced before Dragon. Oil has been changed.
Brakes are at 50% life, and tires have about 5000 miles on them (Nokian Z-Line). Need to fix small tear (wear) on driver side top. Got the Black Patch in the mail on Friday to fix it. I was on the soccer pitch all weekend (US Soccer official). I'll apply the patch to the right side as well, as it is starting to wear.
Ok... need to install the Modifry straps for my top...
If my cousin's husband can find a weekend, I have a full audio install to complete.

Oil change done last week, new tires recently. Fluid flush done recently. Car is running well (I daily it), so should be good to go! Never been up to the Dragon though, this will be my first time. I heard I need to be nice to my brakes, lol.
