I am about to take a 12 hour trip there and back. I am going to a cabin in ALABAMA. I live in NEW ORLEANs. I just got her back up an going strong but only have 50 -100 miles on it since the turbo blew, Fuel filter clogged an fuel pump sock clogged. Before that I only had 3000 miles on her since the swap. And only one 2 hour trip. I am a little worried about breaking down but the car has always started right up dont burn oil and no oil leaks engine is clean an been good to me so far. My question is what tools to take I have a 10mm, 12mm & 14mm socket,wrench set going and some pliers. The only issues I ever had was the silicone coupler blowing an coupler popping off. I am bringing a extra coupler. Just changed the oil and wires/ plugs. Anything I am forgetting to take? This is my first toyota and with only 3000+ miles on it I am wondering how reliable is your toyota celica? I have heard now and years in past the toyotas are good for 300,000 miles maintenced good. And that there reliable cars. What about the 3sgte? I know the 5sfe is reliable and My dad had a tercel not sure what engine but It ran forever. Should I be worried or confident on taking this trip in ,my celica?

Well I am leaving Friday morning and I drove about 50 miles today. Everything seems fine. I have a fmic so I am good there oils good and plugs wires. I did notice a small vertical crack on my ac/alternator belt. SO I am getting one In the morning and install it before I leave. As far as my repairs it seems like the prblems I had was happening over and over like the dam couplers popping off and clamps being cheap but I have all quality clamps and couplers on it now so other thanthat I cant think of aanything that would happen. But I tell you what I am excited this is my first real road trip in the car an I am going to have a blast. I love driving my celica thats for sure. Will get some pics of the trip.
