I have a 97 accord lx with 151k miles on it. My friends and I are getting ready to take a long trip with my car. It is going to be about 4-5 hrs drive to Reno from the bay area. What should I check and do to my car before taking this trip? Had my timing belt changed at 100k miles, just did a oil change at 150k miles, checked all of my tires psi at 35, refilled my; coolant, brake fluid, and power-steering. Anything else I'm missing?

 

lol nope unless you had other problems with your car. now all you need is a shi*t load of gas

 

the last thing i did was change my rims from 18's back to stock. My dumbass broke 2 bolts in the front wheels. I tried to take off my rims and while doing my passenger side it was stripping and i put extra force on it to take the lug nut off. While doing it, the bolt from the rotors came off with the lug nut. It happened again on my driver side. Now my front two wheels are riding on 3 lug nuts, and now we have no car to drive. sucks...How much would u guys think fixing the bolts cost?

 

Wheel studs and lug nuts are cheap. Maybe 10 bucks each.....

 

Here's a DIY:
