spark plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor (check to see if these have been replaced recently, if they have skip it), fuel filter, air filter, oil and filter change, coolant flush if it looks old, clean throttle body, o2 sensor. transmission and diff fluids if your up to it, but make sure you use the correct type of fluid

check the brakes, replace pads if they need it, things along those lines

CONGRATS ON THE NEW RIDE!!!

Definitely follow the above recommendations. Grab a Z32 fuel filter and replace the stock one as the Z32 should be cheaper and flows way better. There is no downside! It does fit in the stock bracket if you force it.

The biggest difference I noticed was replacing the transmission fluid.
