Default 150K Servicing

my car is nearing that 150k mark and knock on wood, it's been a relatively worry-free and reliable DD for a 15 yr old. On to the question, what would be the major maintenance servicing checks to be done at this point? My main concerns are in regards to the engine, clutch/tranny and fluids..

It's gotten a new radiator, replaced those ill-fated coolant fittings, new SAP valve, and all front end suspension pts within the last 2.5 years.

Thanks in advance fellas

Hopefully you've already changed out the transmission, differential, and power steering fluids. Also replace the power steering reservior (which contains a filter). If not, do so ASAP. Water pump and thermostat ever changed? If you don't know change them now, to prevent major grief later. Check the belts and radiator hoses and change as necessary. Good luck. Ti's are fun, aren't they!
