Default What spares do you keep??

I was just wondering what all spare parts you guys are taking to the track with you?

My stuff is pretty basic. I take about 2 sets of plugs, a spare plug wire, a couple U-joints, misc. hardware and electrical stuff. I used to have a spare MAF(used it) Anyone carry any other high fail parts?

Zip ties and duct tape.

LOL, seriously I carry more tools than anything. I dont carry a lot of parts, just a lot of electrical type stuff. Spare fuses, relays, and everything needed to rewire stuff.

Spare cooler... if something breaks, I start to drink. And then get towed home.

Other then that. tire pressure gauge, jack, run of the mill tools. I did strip three studs one night so I tend to keep a couple studs handy. That was a long night. electrical tape and a flashlight are always good to have around.

thats a good idea to being an extra set of plugs. need to do that for sure. but basically all tools needed to take this car apart, extra oil, tranny fliud, extra wire, electrical connectors, battery charger and generator, jack and jack stands.

LOL I carry studs too. Never had to use them so I forgot they've been tucked away in the parts pin with an extra nitrous solenoid.



I usually spend weekends camping out at the track which is about an hour away from the house so if I break, I start drinking and wrenching. I used to take a whole damned roll-away full of tools. Last year I tried to see if I could get by with a basic Lowes tool set and a few specialty tools. Seemed to work alright

When I drive to the track, just the basics but for some reason when I tow I bring alot more...doesn't make sense.

Bring an extra rocker arm
