100K mile question

First thing, grab your 15 mm wrench and change your serpentine belt. I hope you have replaced your cap and rotor a few times already by now, bout 30,000 miles each time. When you replace the cap and rotor, seriously consider a new set of wires. The stock wires are probably fine, but some nice fat wires look cool, and you can save the origs for emergency use. The stock struts ans shocks are pretty worn by now they wear gradually so you dont realize how soft they are now, so start pricing some out. Stuff like springs and bushings I would not touch yet unless you plan to drop it down, or upgrade the suspension.

Inspect your plastic fan if you have one in a SN95 my 90's was all cracked at 99K. My radiatior was shot, but if you changed your coolant it should be ok.

Basically just crawl all over the car and give everything a look over. You dont want any suprises in a daily driver!
