Default Car is approaching 90,xxx miles

Is there any special maintenance issues I should be looking into to. I bought my car with 77,xxx miles it had no mods what so ever paper filter even. The car runs strong the clutch is going a little bit. I plan on doing a headers and cam swap within the next couple of months. By then the car will have 90,xxx on it. Has anyone else modded there car with this high of mileage?
Thanks for all the help.

89,6xx here. Bought it used with 77K. I'd do plugs, wires, fuel filter, maybe change fluids. 90K isn't so bad anymore. It still has plenty of life out of it *knock on wood*

The first thing I did when I got it was change all fluid minus the coolant is was still good. I put castrol syntec in changed the fuel filter, tranny fluid, and differential. The car runs great I think the previous owner took great care of it. It is good to hear these cars can still put out great performance as they age a little. thanks for the help.

Bought mine new with 63 miles on it in December of 1999. This past October I installed long-tube headers, off-roads, and a 3" y-pipe. The car had over 96,000 miles on it then, and is now currently at the 100,984 mile mark.....

Being my car was close to 100,000 at the time of the header install, I took the opportunity to change the plugs and wires. The passenger side back plug is not very easy to get to from the top, but it's much easier to reach from underneath the car.
