joining the 100K club...what should i check?

hey every1,
My FD has 99,800 miles on it right now, and i figure 100K is a good mark to check everything and do some preventative maintanence. Anyone want to add something to my list?

-motor, clutch, turbos have 29k on them so theyre good.
-Replace belt
-tranny already has redline in it, only ~5k old
-change diff fluid
-Planning on getting a jimlab bushing set
-new sway bar mounts, possibly new bar (my mounts are bent to hell)
-change brake fluid

any suggestions/comments are welcome
-Zach

Fuel filter, also I believe you can use a regular bolt to attach your downpipe...just get the right length, save like $10 and buy it from a hardware/parts store

Usually, the dealer / manual has a nice long list of things to check but I would do as much as possible; fluids, filters, rotation (if able), plugs, rotors, bads, etc. and change out the consumabales. If it's all good than it's time to treat your baby to a new toy of some sort.(Everything!) But it sounds like you're doing really good. I've got less then 2K before I too get to join the 100K club and more in love with my car then ever.
