maintenance at 200k

hey there everyone, ive been sponging info off this site for over a year now, since getting my 2001 r/t, and i love it, but i have some concerns and thoughts as to where to take this thing....

the question for now is-
what should i be planning on breaking right now...

this thing is BONE stock....well thats a not totally true, i messed up the air intake by making it a short ram cone basically, and i spray painted the rims, and put a stereo in.

the shift control arms broke the fisr month i had it, and i had the clutch replaced with the slave cylinder when all that happened it was glazed pretty bad.

tires and that's it.

so... im expecting some sort of catastrophic failure, and that can't happen. this is a family car- girlfriend 2/ kids- daily driver 70-100 miles a day. gotta keep her running for a few months till there is another car or 2- eventually i want to bench this thing and do a 2.3l turbo / srt sorta swap- diabl0 knows whats up :)

belts, head, water pump, fuel pump, valves, what shoudl i be thinking?

Refer to your owners manual. I would say fluid change. timing belt. water pump. lca bushing check. brake line inspection and check for any leaks.
