things I replaced in the first year

Got my 94 aero with 159K on the clock.
The first year I replaced a blown block to heater core collant hose, the heater core, blower fan, climate controller fan speed controller, upper motor mount and front brakes.
I would suggest draining and flushing the coolant (a full flush or multiple radiator drains and refills) replace ALL the coolant hoses, the werpentine belt, idler pulleys and maybe the tensioner. Make sure all the brakes are in order and that tierod ends and ball joints are ok. Check the CV boots and get them replaced if they're cracked.
Since I've owned the car, almost 4 years, I've replace the things listed above, and: full 3" JT exhaust with 3" cat, K&N on a stick, stage 4 ecu, group 9 clutch, new axles both sides, rear brakes, radiator, water pump, serp belt, pulleys and most recently the transmission.
The clutch was original with 209K on it and it looked fine, but I was upgrading anyway. The Trans just went with about 215K on it. I can't attribute that failure to stage 4 because it was only in the car for a month or so, I would think the 214K miles before that stressed it enough to be finished off by the new found power.
I love the car, end of story. I don't plan to trade it (never get what it's worth) and I don't want to sell it. I think I'll keep it until it dies for good.
