Higher Mileage Full Maintenence Makeover
So my 07 type s has 222,000km on it now. I absolutely love the car and want to keep it for a long time. This is my most recent work.
2013
- Repainted half of the car - too many nicks and marks
( flawless paint now )
-timing belt and water pump
-valve adjustment
-rear endlinks replaces
-driver side axle replaced
-front engine mount
-passenger side engine mount
2014
-Installed BC racing coilovers
-installed full xlr8 brake kit with stainless steel lines
-Fully flushed brake fluid
-Installed new rear parking brake assembly and shoes
I want the car to ride like new again and I must say with everything I have put on so far im getting there quickly. The interior was fully detailed and pretty perfect. Just need to finish a few things on the outside to make it like new.
1. Since I have gone 220km with the original passenger side axle and I recently replaced the driver side, should I replace the passenger side because at higher speeds there is a wobble and im sure at this mileage the shaft has play in it.
2. Should I replace all my transmission mounts and engine mounts that haven't been done since new? Again 220km on them
3. Compliance bushings?
4. Wheel bearings?
Any other real things I could do at this point??
