Default Should I be worried

Just bought my s2k a few weeks ago , got a ‘04 with 158k miles on it. I’ve already done some regular stuff on it ( new tct , new clutch master cylinder , valve cover gasket , spark plugs , oil change , oil filter and then some other little o rings and gasket changes ) Wanted to get some opinions on other things I should do to make the car last as long as I can. This car won’t be tracked at all and will just be for casual daily driving to school

all of the other fluids - brake, transmission, differential. Look in the engine bay for brittle/cracking plastic - notably, the coolant overflow tank. Other than that, drive, enjoy, and have fun.

Your shifter might be a little bit sloppy - there are a number of plastic pieces in there that are wear and tear items for a 16 year old car.

Two more days until I go see him , hopefully all I need is the valve adjustment. Just put bc coils on and installing front lower control arms and whiteline adjustable end links all around ( 3 out of my 4 end links on right now are snapped) and also widebodying it Wednesday!

Why bugger it with a "wide body kit?"
