Default The "I just bought an SC" care kit

When someone new buys an SC for the first time they need a few items. There should be a care kit for everyone to purchase that includes everything they will need for their first time.


- A Power Steering Pump
- An Alternator
- High pressure hoses
- Control arm bushings
- New custom cluster
- New climate LCD
- Leather seat covers
- Center bearing
- Engine and Transmission mounts
- Window regulators
- The proper tools to remove the CD changer and amp to throw away
- A piece of wire to jump the fuel pump ECU out

Then everyone would be happy with the new SC purchase and you'd be able to enjoy your car.

Hinges, yes. most of the other aren't really the TOP failures that are 100% guaranteed, but certainly higher failures. That rear deck sub is not longer an issue with the tools on my list.

I'd like to add:

-Distributor O-ring (if left alone, it'll destroy the alternator)
-Trunk/hood shocks (because using baseball bat and golf club is not practical)

I second the trunk shocks. I think I still have a knot on my head because of those things.

Trunk shocks yes, there is nothing high failure about a door lock actuator, nor is the ecu widespread. MOST don't replace those items.
