I plan on doing a good tune up soon and I need to know what else to buy. So far I have on my list...

Spark Plugs and Wires...I heard oem was the best to go with or should I go with them or other ones???
Distrubitor cap and rotor
Kuhmo Escta tires
Slotted Rottors and Pads
Top off all Fluids
Air Filter...thinking about getting a pop charger

Is there anything else I should do? I wanna do this really good to get my car running as best it can. I plan on getting the JGY t25 kit this summer so I want my car to be ready for it. Any help is greatly appericated. thanks

fuel filter, clean battery terminals, clean grounds, clean out TB, Manifold, etc. ?

check belts... definatly go with oem plug wires and NGK platinum tip plugs... oh yea... oem rotors and brake pads too... I just did my tuneup... aftermarket pads and rotors were shot after about 3 months... the pads don't dissipate the heat like the oem ones... oem is more expensive, but for a reason when it comes to brakes... just my 2 cents...

so no slotted? and i cleaned out my Tb not to long ago so i got that covered maybe time for a another cleaning but well see battery terminals are pretty clean and all my grounds are all rusty should i just buy new screws fo that? im thinking maybe a ground kit. and i heard something about regrounding the MAF thata good idea?

You're thinking of the fuel pump. The filter is just a filter. :)

check your motor mounts... if you are going to be going turbo, then it would probably be a good idea to get prothane mounts, or nismo,or jwt.

you might want to flush your cooling system. Summer is approaching.
