Default Road Trip!!!

Alright, so i'm going on a road trip. Going to be driving roughly 2500 miles twice (there and back). I live pretty much on the right side of south Mississippi and i'm going to be driving to La Mirada, Ca (45 minutes from LA) Visiting sister that i havent seen in roughly 5 years.

About my car, stock 89 CRX Si with SOHC ZC conversion. 175,000 Miles on chassis, Unknown amount on engine. Was told roughly under 40,000 when purchased 6 monthes ago.

So in prep for the long journey i changed my Oil (Mobile Clean 5000)
Changed Tranny fluid
Coolant
Drivebelts
All around new tires, with 2 new spares (Dunlops)
Plugs
Wires
Battery

Anything i'm missing?

Any info would be appreciated.

I dont know if this will help or not, but check it out. It is a thread I started asking pretty much the same deal, looking for reliability.

This one's obvious: Make sure your tires are in good enough condition. You don't want to wreck because you didn't have enough traction to stop, or 'cause you hydroplaned off the road.
