Since I thought it'd be helpful for this kind of thread, here it is. There wasn't anything like this elsewhere on these forums.
For good health of your vehicle, especially people who have done performance modifications, I recommend these maintenance routine check-ups to prevent any major damage to occur in the future. I hope this thread helps many people out and for those who want to contribute to this list, feel free to add to this post and I will update accordingly.
Remember, this is not a must follow along. I understand people like to take it at different intervals, some more frequent than others. This is my opinion to a healthy car.

Some Things to Note:
- Depending on your road conditions, you might want to replace your drive shaft and boots. For instance, if you are in a muddy, unpaved, graveled, or heavily salted area. Inspect every 5-7.5k miles and look to change them every 15k or less depending on how severe the road conditions are.
- For the people who do not have an intake, SRI or CAI, you should replace your air cleaner filter frequently, at every oil change.
- Wear items such as brake pads and clutches should be done by sound/feel.
- Generally, brake pads are hard to give a number, but range between 20k-60k depending on usage. I recommend you look up how to inspect your brakes (when you do a tire rotation), and see how much is left. I highly recommend you replace them when they are around 1/4” left, but of course you can get them to 3/32” and still pass inspection. Your call. And while we are on this topic, when you brake and you feel a vibration, it is because your rotors are bent.
- Clutches are also difficult to give a number, but with the way we need to release our clutch in 1st to get a smooth start, I would say at 50k it would start to give. Yes, even without a tune and considering that this is a sporty car, the abuse is likely. Some people may get to 100k, good for you—this isn’t a dick measuring contest. A good way to test it is to put your parking brake on and put your car is 5th or so and let go of the clutch slowly. If your car runs, then you definitely know it’s slipping. You should actually feel the clutch slipping when you push the car hard as well. If it gets to the point where your car can idle in 5th gear engaged, that clutch is long gone.
