99' Preventive maintenance

I am thinking about replacing the upper and lower radiator hoses.
Are they prone to burst on our cars?

Thinking about doing the timing belt while I am at it.

Do you have ESP on this car?

I think this whole deal can be avoided if it was a car with ESP.

besides very slight increase in noise/vib when idling

...not really.

Things that I've done to my drive train that might affect the result: ghetto silicone rear diff mount mod, Some DIY transmission stabilizer hack(not unlike chase-bar).

clean the TB and try again.

take the TB off and use a whole can of TB cleaner. Also, some times when it's mighty hot in the engine bay the TB might refuse to do adaptation and will throw codes.

Are you kidding me? Brake Reservoir: ~$50!! This is so wrong.

used to be around $25 a year or two back, no?
guess I'll have to patch up the old one with epoxy if I can't find a cheaper source.
