Upgrade help

Just bought a 2002 Impreza WRX Sedan AUTO with 130K. It's never beaten on and all stock.

Not intended to race or anything, but would like to upgrade engine parts, and what not so that it will not give me any issues down the road.

Basically, I am trying to restore the car "almost like new" condition so that this car will last another 100k.

So far, i dont think a BOV wouldn't be worth it since it's an auto. Think I should upgrade the top mounted intercooler? Short intake pipe? Definitely a tune-up, spark plugs, wires, air filters, and....?

As for rims, preferably 17 x 7.5 with 48cm off-set? I wanted to keep it close to stock, so i wouldnt have any drive-train issues.

Suggestions? Tips? Thanks.

If you want to make it drive like new then you should be looking at replacing your struts and all of your bushings, not engine stuff that will more likely than not shorten the lifespan of your motor.

Thanks, i probably will do that. Tune-up is on the list though.
