100k maintanence on 95 GST
 
so i think the previous owner hasn't done any major maintenance on the car.. (other than oil and brakes)

are there things that I should start worrying about, or things taht I should have replaced at the 100k mark? (its already at 114K)

thanks

Timing Belt, timing belt, timing belt. Get it done now. They are recomended evey 60,000. Other than that maybe just a tune up (spark plugs, wires, pcv valve, ect.)

some cars use a chain, but the dsm's have a belt. Just different lingo, all the same thing

BTW if you do get the timing belt done by a shop, make sure that they replace the tensioner <<<from experience :D

i didnt even break the head the first time, i was doing the right thing in replacing the t-belt, and then it broke, so what should have only cost 200, now cost 2k
