Road Trip Supplies

What would be some good things to pack along in your 7, for a road trip. Since parts aren't that easy to come by in the middle of no where. What about tools?

Couple Quarts of oil, the right kind so you don't have to do a full change if you cant find your brand, leatherman tool, a 10mm (must have) and maybe a few other tools like a multihead screwdriver. Put all the tools in one bin (behind the driver's seat) and fill the other bin with ice and beer to make access easy when you stop to get gas or something. I'm not advocating drinking and driving but it's nice to have at your fingertips if you plan on sitting around for a while.

When you set out, be sure to throw in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner too. You'll be filling the car up anyway so you might as well put it in since they reccommend like half to 3/4 anyway.

To add inspect your coolant hoses and oil lines for signs of leaks and wear. Do a complete service before the trip.

Like Parastie says bring a set of belts
Like 86FC RX-7 says jack, spare tire, oil, coolant
And a set of tools.
