I have a 1987 SSP. I'm going on a road trip from Oakland to Los Angeles which is about 400 miles. What preventive maintainence can I do to prepare for the trip? What parts should I bring with me?

wrong forum bro.
but change the fluids. just stick to the basic stuff. good luck on the trip and dont beat on it you should be fine.

Do what said above and check tire pressure. Just bring some basic hand tools. 400 miles isn't goin to kill your car unless it's already in bad shape. Oh and dont forget your wallet with these crazy gas prices lol.

Really it all depends on how well maintained the car is. When I moved I drove my Cobra from NJ to FL (1000 miles on the dot) with not a single hiccup. Assuming that, I would just check the tire pressures/fluids and maybe the hoses/wires under the hood if you think they may need it. Bring some good cruising music!

alright check tire pressures check your coolant make sure its still good. change your oil before you go. check your front end peices like tie rods and ball joints. bring 2 gallons of coolant with you and a qt or 2 of oil. just make sure to watch your gauges. i drove from boston to maine 300 milse one way and back to boston from friday night to sunday night then tuesday nightwent from boston to jersey 275 miles one way and came back thursday morning. didnt have a single problem with my car 190k on it and she is still running

check all fluid levels..make sure there are no huge leaks,,, bring a cell phone... check air in spare tire and make sure you have all appropriate tools to change a tire

Tools, extra coolant, oil, WTF!!! Do you guys drive POS's? I don't bring anything on the road. That's what cell phones and tow trucks are for. Check the basics and hit the road.
