Default 100k miles

i have an 02 ws6. it is just about to hit 100k miles. I am putting in a new clutch, headers, ory, and lowering it. i am also changing the plugs and wires. Is there anything else i should think about replacing or at least take a double look at?

If you have an owners manual, take a look at it. It should outline all routine services, and their intervals. Do any that look like they haven't been performed over the years.

yeah car LOOKS new and runs very strong. have no leaks or anything. i am changing all the fluids since they need to be drained to do the clutch anyway. i am also redoing all my brakes (rotors and pads) hoping calipers are still good. changed the air filter week i bought the car. but i will buy a fuel filter. didnt think about that ha ha oh man!

just remember if you have an m6, when you do a tranny or a diff service to pull the fill plug before you drain anything. if you drain it and then cant fill it... bad news.
