Trying to make a list of things i need to do, and just looking for a little input

edit: the chasis is at 135k, motor is JDM so...60k? Im going to seafoam to keep her clean, but past that, i have no idea what the car has done or not, about to put mobile one in and see what happens.

New thermostat/ flush and fill on coolant
tranny fluid change
oil change (duh)
brakes f/r rotors and pads

p.s. since winter has been on, my car has had a terrible time warming up. im assuming that the t-stat is stuck open which would be the big reason why it wont warm up even after a 20 min drive. any input is greatly appreciated!

THANKS ALL!!!

Oil filter
When were plugs changed? Cap, rotor?
When was the last time brake fluid was changed? New fluid make a big difference in brake feel and operation.

OMGWTFBBQ!

Fuel filter, maybe check your ground wires, air filter maybe? Remember to buy new crush washers for your drain plugs.

cap/rotor=no clue
brake fluid=needed
fuel filter=needed
grounds=needed
thermo=see below
pcv valve=needed im sure
tranny flush=needed
coolant flush=bad needed
spark plug wires=new

yeahm the thermo si still puzzling me. anyone else on this? like i said, the main problem is the fact that the car isnt warm even after a 20 min drive.

You also might want to consider buying a new temp sensor, just to make sure the old one isn't throwing you off.

well, after taling with my mech, he surmised that maybe some jackass had removed the water pump altogether. at any rate.
