i usually keep a bottle of h2o, quart of oil, extinguisher, flares and my cell phone



i have had to use the flares before so i always keep 2 on me.

when im refilling my gas i usually check my oil and coolant and stuff to pass time and add if necessary

I'd say an engine hoist, but it wouldn't fit in the FD. You'd need a Supra to carry it around in...

Otherwise, I don't carry one single tool other than the ones that came with the car.

Don't carry parts? Don't carry tools...

You're right, my bad it was a 12mm I meant to say.

how about AAA+ don't they tow any distance with that membership too?
No, I pay $6 dollars a year and the ins co is obligated to drag the car up to 50 miles (not sure about that number, but it is close).

Talking

The best tool in my opinion to carry in your FD is an ASE Certified Rotary Mechanic (prefferably from Pettit, Pineapple, Racingbeat, etc,...) Oh, and have a Mustang trailing behind carrying all the tools. Behind that a Honda, incase the Mustang breaks down too!

I've heard the Chinese do everything with a hammer and screwdriver. Seriously though, 13mm socket???

My y-pipe has 13mm nuts. But 10mm and 12mm are the most common. Maybe have a 14mm if you have a strut bar.

This week a local RX-7 car club guy's RX-7 burned up.

I'll be getting a fire extinquisher ASAP.

He had no insurance.
