Hey everyone I am looking to find out how soon i should get a tune up ? I bought my car in late dec of 03 . I havent changed the wires or plugs since i got the car. So what do you think i need to get done ? Any specific type of plugs / wires i should get ? Besides the plugs and wires what else do you think i need to do .

How many miles are on the car?
Tune up at 30,000 miles:
I plan on doing the following in a few months when I hit 30K...
1. Flush and replace Anti-freeze
2. Replace Transmission fluid with Redline MTL
3. Replace Spark Plugs with OEM NGK's or Bosch +4's
4. Replace Fuel Filter
5. Replace PCV Valve
6. Clean Throttle Body
7. Clean K&N (It will have been in there 10K by then)
8. Inspect Belts, Hoses, Brakes etc... Just like at Oil Change.
That should be about it... :)
I think the manual specifies only #1 thru #3 though, the other stuff is just good and cheap insurance.
Just basic stuff.
Belts need to be changed at 60,000 miles. But if I would be you, I would change the belts already as you bought the car used (I assume)
Also look in the factory manual, it will tell you what the tune-up at each mile range consists of.
