General Maintenance

[RadRacer]

OK. I've had my car for about 5 months now. Everything runs good and all, but I'm not sure when the last little check-up was done. I changed the oil about 3K ago, and am about to do it again, so I figured maybe I should go ahead and do everything else. By everything else, I mean seafoam the whole car, and change plugs and wires. What do you guys think? Wires look stock to me, and I've kinda been wanting to go upto some 8.2mm ones. Is there anything else I should do? Car has about 76k on it, and it's a 97 3.8 Camaro. So, should I go ahead and do all this, or is it just a waste of time and money at this point? If I did plugs and wires, I was gonna go with Taylor or MSD wires, and then NGK plugs.

Re: General Maintenance

Wow thats great milage for a 97! But yea, i would do a tranny flush, seafoam, wires, plugs, and an oilchange. Also if you havent already put a k&n air filter on it nows the time. :)

I had a K&N on it, but replaced it with a Moroso CAI:banana: That and a Magnaflow Cat-Back system is all I've done to it so far. I was thinking either a quick little maintenance work, or an aluminum driveshaft would be next. I'm thinking just going with maintenance since it's cheaper, and is better for the car. But I'd really like to get a DS:naughty:

Well, the radiator has been flushed recently, and I put in a new thermo (stock 215 though). I'll go ahead and do everything else, I guess. What wires would you guys recommend? Is there really any difference seen between MSD and Taylor wires?
