    so i re-assessed my sheet and due to a lack of thoroughness on my part, i failed to include that i have had all pulley tensioners and drive belts, etc replaced. I also had the diff fluid changed at the first tranny change service. So i guess that leaves cooling system for now. Dane, what is icv? and what suspension pieces are we talking about needing? rcabs, or shocks/struts?

    icv - idle control valve. it can get dirty over time and can impact the vehicle's ability to hold steady idle.

    suspension wise - the odds are at that mileage most everything is worn, the question (at least in my opinion) is how worn is too much? in other words, can i live with it? my general rule is i don't touch the suspension unless something is obviously broken, or it has a dramatic impact on keeping alignment, etc.

    that said, when i do finally do suspension on any of my cars i tend to do everything at once - all bushings, shocks/struts/springs, etc, mounts, etc...
    and, of course, if i find an amazing deal well, then, can't ignore it!

    at least based upon what i've read, the e46 tends to go through ball joints (which i think you've already had done).

    much of my knowledge is on the e36 so i'm still learning all the ins and outs on the ZHP.....
