approaching 150K kms, preventative maintenance recommendations/thoughts/comments

[northguest47]

Update:
-gas cap and evap canister both replaced a long time ago... still the codes remain.. hence the mechanics recommendation to do the smoke test
-curt trailer hitch and wiring kit installed
-still to order rear anti sway bar, front upper strut mount bar, beefy clutch kit, the better stock front strut mounts, front coil-overs, rear lowering springs, rear airbags

oddly enough after the hitch install i can 'tell' the car handles different, actually better imho, although i know the weight of that trailer hitch is not wanted it can be offset by replacing the stock seats with lighter ones.. also on the list at some point

slow to get this all done, always takes three times longer than i think, but i gotta say with those winter tires, this car handles really well in the rain.. there's no snow to speak of where i am
