Hey Guys,
I picked up my 97 SC3 w/ 140k miles on her and was told that some of the routine maintenance had been done, but I want to be sure, so, I ordered a bunch of items from Jose at Carson Toyota. (Btw, Awesome guy to deal with) So far, this is what I've oredered and was wondering if I should be ordering anything else. That's where your help plays a big role
Thanks in advance Guys!! Much appreciated

Lol!! You Guys CRACK me up I ordered all of these parts because I want to be on the safe side. I wasn't sure if I needed more, but from the responses I've been reading, it appears as though I've ordered the majority of what I need. Thanks so much Guys, I knew I could count on the CL community

Good to hear your taking care of the SC!
Are you planning on keeping it stock or possibly NA-T. If you go Na-T then i would say a TT hg and ARP headstuds. Then you won't have to go back into the engine if you ever plan on putting a turbo on the car.
