Default Maintenance and Basic Issues, Am I missing some extra wear and tear?

I'm collecting parts right now to cut out the shop marketup prices on parts. So far on the below parts are on the list. It's an 03 Z06 if that makes any difference.

I've done the basics like clutch fluid, oil, air filter, etc. I drive the thing aggressively if that helps.


Current List
  • Transmission Fluid
  • Diff Fluid ?
  • Brake Pads
  • Brake Fluid
  • Brake Lines (why not change to stainless steel)
  • Rotors if I have to (prefer to wait for C6 Z06 Upgrade)
  • Idler Pulley (I believe it's the cause for a chirping noise I'm hearing)
  • Belts
I also get a slight popping in the front passenger side around 100mph that doesn't sound major but is a bit of a concern. I almost want to think it's the wiper blade that's buffeting.

Lastly, my reverse soliniod seems to be going out. My car will try to go into reverse when trying to shift into 5th and it's a horrible sounds. Makes me cringe pretty badly.


So am I missing anything? Plugs? Plug Wires?
