#122394, "Preventative Maintence For A Long Trip"
Feb-04-06 01:39 PM by EclipseTenzoR

          

Hey, I am in Florida right now and my car will need to make a 900 miles trip from Jersey to here. I was wondering if you guys can post some suggestions on a preventative maintence for the long trip down here. Here is a list of what I have planned to be done so far.

All New Tires- (Really Need Them)
Alignment
New Spark Plugs
New Wires
Fuel Treatment
New Air Filter (What size is good for the hahn stage 1 kit. I forget the model number of what someone made a post about)

And of course a car wash to represent during the trip

Anything else?

Edit: 108K Miles and compression is 180 on all 4 cylinders.

98' Eclipse GS- Hahn Stage 2- SOLD
02' Honda S2000- SOLD
04' Acura TL- Current Whip

lmao, I know I have been around for awhile, but I am just curious as to what some of you may do when you know you are about to embark on a long trip? What are you most concerned about. Are there any parts I should be specifically concerned about other than what I had mentioned.

Properly inflate your tires! Very important as you will reach higher speeds for long intervals. Too little air = crappy milege and too much equals a blowout. Other than that, just check your fluids!

New Car:
2004 350z base, Nismo CAI, pioneer avic-n1 (dvd, cd, navi)



Old Car:
1998 GS with hrc stage 2, HID 6000k conversion kit, AEM UEGO wideband, sfmu, ml, prokits, Greddy warning gauges: egt, boost gauge, and oil pressure, apexi tt, haydans tranny cooler, costum dp, groundwires, dynotune fp gauge. gst muff, turbo spoiler
Boostin since Aug 03.

nothing like driving with the windows down and the music low: i love hearing the turbo spool, swwwhhhttt!!!!
