Going to start using mine in November. What are some go-to things I should check on or maintain to ensure reliability? Thanks.

Mine was an impulse buy. I saw it parked in a parking lot with for sale sign. I stopped and looked at it, No rust plus a 5 speed, asking $2500 so I though lets see if it drives as good as it looks (at first glance). I called the number and left a message. Two weeks later the guy called back, we test drove it, it drove fine, but suspension needed work. I made an offer, first the guy said NO, then a couple of weeks later, he called and asked me to come get it.

When I first bought it, I took it to the shop to have the timing belt and all other belts and seals replaced. Then within a month I noticed that it is burning (rather eating oil). That is when I found this forum and started getting help and gained additional knowledge. I have done the following work:

Timing belt/other belts/seals (July 2014)
Rear Suspension new (July 2014)
Engine rebuilt rings and bearings (Sept 2014)
New plugs/wiring harness (Sept 2014)
Oil cooler with thermostatic control sandwich adapter (Oct. 2014)
Bunch of other cosmatic additions, fog lights, CC install (in the works) side molding on-going (Oct/Nov 2014)
New 15 inch Rims and tires/matts/sun visors/rear hatch sun wiser

that is all I remember. I plan on driving it for a while.
