What Am I Missing?

[KJRGT]

I purchased a 2016 GT350 Track Pack in July with 1,100 miles and have done the following in preparation for driving enjoyment:

New engine oil, filter and coolant
New tranny fluid
New rear end fluid
New brake fluid
New Michelin Sports
Steeda Overflow Tank
Ford Racing passenger side blow by canister
XPEL Ultimate film on grill, hood, fenders, mirrors and rocker panels

What additional items should I review and/or replace? One thought is suspension bushings.

Thanks all!

Don’t forget the blinker fluid!!!!

Looks like a solid list

How about an AA spare tire kit? The few blowouts I have had in other cars, the factory plug-and-pump kit would have never solved

You can't go wrong with just a basic, changing all the fluids bumper to bumper to get familiar with the car. Any used car I've ever bought, that's the first project.

I agree, the current factory pump set up does not give real confidence. AA spare tire kit a definite option. I was was going to buy a screw plug kit for clean puncture wounds.
Anyone have experience with them?

I'd say the cabin air filter behind the glove compartment. It's 10yrs old. With only 1100 miles, it probably doesn't have much debris in it. Still, you'd be surprised what you find in there.

Remember when you do your brake bleed, you also cycle your clutch pedal to flush out the brake fluid in there. It’s a shared system.

Since you are setting the car back to the original conditions, the fuel filter can be swapped.

When I flushed the coolant out of my 17MY. It had orange coolant and I updated it to the green coolant. I ended up removing the thermostat in the housing and putting it back together, then I hooked up a shop-vac to blow air into the head to flush out as much coolant out of the block. That wasn’t enough, I can still see a small amount of orange and green mix in the coolant bottle.

Yes, kinda weak.

Your suspension should be fine at 1100 miles. Maybe some front rock guards or blockers to keep rocks from hitting the side of the car. Check the battery charge. Sounds like you have a great baseline now. Just enjoy driving it!

Idk if the 16 350s came with the carplay compatible usb port (gts didnt until later), if not, thats pretty easy. Can update the Sync 3 and download new maps.

Check bushings but they will probably be fine with such low miles.

alignment.. battery. And lots of driving.
