So my lude currently has 154k miles and its creeping fast. Currently it has headers, intake and exhaust. I was looking at new cars but decided to keep mine since making $350 a month doesnt look fun to me. I had new valves and springs replaced around 120k. Belts were changed around 90k. Should I keep her? If so, what would you suggest doing next to make sure she is still good for a long time? She is running like a champ with no issues. Should I worry about the block and start buying internals for it? Any suggest would rock.

Since I'm not going to be making any car payments I can use the money to throw at her but I dont have much knowledge on what to buy for the motor.

thanks

 

do a leakdown test to determine its health.

 

yeah I plan on going a compression and leakdown this weekend. My trunk is leaking water so I'm gonna gut out the rear seats and trunk this weekend as well

 

I have the same year, miles, and problem w/ the leaking trunk. You mentioned you had I/H/E but do you have any money put into your suspension setup? If not I'd say some adjustable shocks, maybe some coilovers.

 

yeah come some konis and springs already. I know the motor will hold up but electrics like alternator, starter, etc., is what worries me, since those can go bad at anytime. Anybody know the leak is from?
