If you are the original owner and have regularly serviced the car, changed the oil, and you haven't driven the car hard during its life, then it can handle some mods.

If you are the second or third owner, and do not know its service history and/or how had it hase been driven over the years, then I would say at 90K miles doing mods will be more risky.

Others will chime in with what you can do to spruce up the engine.

I am the 2nd owner just put over 1000 miles on it since I got it and all I e done to it is change oil and flushEd coolants have had no big issues on it yet (cross my fingers) will upgrading some parts be safe?

Depends on what parts you've thinking of upgrading. Most are not worth the effort.

I would do the maintenance first and then put a few thousand miles on the car to make sure it's reliable in stock form. Transmission service is a big one.

As was posted there is not very much out there for mods. Maybe some loud mufflers so it sounds fast?
