STORMIN' is right - i agree 100%.
when i got my car, i did the plugs, new battery (needed it), PCV valve, all fluids/filters, and cleaned the throttlebody. added a tranny cooler and ext. filter shortly thereafter. then ground mod, upgraded rotors, s.s. brake lines, and pads. just changed coolant, with new T-stat and temp sensor. this summer it will get new TPS and O2 sensors. next year will be belts and H2O pump, and maybe struts.

the only thing that's failed me so far was a coil pack, but now that its over 60k miles, its time to give it some preventative maintenance. i want to keep it running in top form, as opposed to saving a few bucks and "seeing how long it will go before something breaks." make yourself a maintenance schedule and try to stick to it.

i'd recommend making your SVX "right" mechanically, before doing any performance or cosmetic modifications.
