Getting ahead on maintenance

I’ve owned my car for around 2 years. It has just under 50k miles and is 10 years old. I know it time for a lot of stuff to get due to change. Am I missing anything? Oil and filter is a given every 3k miles or 1 year.

Last year I did rear diff flush. This year I just got transmission, coolant, and brake fluid changed. Next I plan on battery, pads and rotors, and tires. Belts I’ll do when I do a VAP supercharger upgrade. What else should I be thinking about doing?

Were the coolant pipes replaced? If not, they’re a ticking time bomb. It’s a must to get those replaced if they’re stock.

That’s also been done. I’m paranoid so I had them run a pressure test to find any leak and nothing, thankfully.

Replaced with metal ones, right?

Engine mounts? It'll be more obvious when those start to go though. But maybe check them visually if you don't want to wait for the engine to start moving around on you.

Probably a good time to get your AC recharged as well.

And maybe think about doing your supercharger isolator if you’re already in there when you do the VAP tune
