-Check front end closely. If none, add a Steering Stabilizer and if factory, add a new track bar (3rd gen or after market).
-Check ball joints for play. mine are tight at 170,000 miles but that seems to be the exception.
-Fuel Pressure gauge, as mentioned.
-U- joints do start to go from 100,000 on up.
-As mentioned, VP-44 and lift pump are the biggest problem areas to be checked out.
-If factory Injectors, they may be tires at 100,000 miles. Some towing injectors like Mach 1.6's would be excellent.

02 is the best of the 2nd Gens, IMO. Love mine.

-Quad chips are good. Their top end, the Adrenaline with the Pulse controller, is the state of the art chip. You may need a clutch upgrade to support full power.
