Great check list

Added.

Thanks for keeping up the list, Vant ...

Suggest adding "spare set of keys" to checklist ... strongly suggested ...

Added. I hope the "spare keys" suggestion wasn't learned from personal experience.

- knock sensor
- spark plugs
- spark plug wires
- fuel filter
- fuel injector set

Probably a couple other odds and ends I can't remember. However, for a DE, I'd consider most of these spare parts overkill.

Added. And if you remember those other spare parts I'll add those as well.

I like to take a 'pit boy' if I can find one

What about stuff to give your car a bath?

Only required if you go off roading!

This is an awesome checklist. Sticky!

And that old set of calipers you rebuilt, no laughing Leslie Hope you had a blast at the Glen.

I lost a weekend after cutting a seal while pushing SS Pistons into new calipers. Of course I didn't know the seal was cut until about the fifth lap at Mid-Ohio, at the end of the straight going into 7 - pedal hit the floor, scared the poop out of the instructor.

You covered my checklist (and then some)

I'd change hand soap to "waterless" hand cleaner (why am I always a mile from water and rinsing my hands with bottled water? )

Done.

I keep a printout of all the codes so that when my check enging light comes on, I will know what is going on. Pulling the code is one thing, but knowing what it is about is another.

Yeah ... I hear that! ... and "how to pull up the codes on the DIC" cheatsheet. Was at Watkins Glen this summer ... steady "check engine" lite popped up ... usually indicates emissions-related ... but neither I nor two other C5 folks there could remember how to retrieve the codes ...

Good idea. Do you have a link to the codes?

Thanks Denny. Do these codes also work for the C6 or is there another source for that?

[wneal]

Great Post
The more events I do, the more "Stuff" I have to bring and remember to check.
In this sport, it doesn't pay to forget something or to miss something on your car.

Thanks for the list

I think they're mainly the same ...
