major tuneup needed
i have a feeling i will be doing a major tuneup very soon. the previous owner took very good care of the car but didnt replace anything unless he had to and it is still even running the origanal optispark after 122k. when i do finally take it in i am thinking about haveing the following done:
optispark, waterpump, plugs, wires, belts, hoses, radiator flushed and have the fluids changed in the rear end and the tranny and have the oil changed with a mobile 1 filter and get a new fuel filter, i will probably cough up the money and throw in a K&N air filter on top of everything. is there anything else im forgetting? i know this is probably gonna cost an arm and a leg but if i do get all this done wont that last me for quite a while? what do you think i should expect to pay for all this plus labor? BTW i get all parts wholesale(dealer cost) It pays to know ppl in the right places!

Re: major tuneup needed (STL94LT1)
I would guess you will spend around 2K for parts and labor.
Good luck
