As above really. I'm going with white rabbit racing as i have for the past 2 years. I was just wondering if anyone took along spares for common faults, coil packs, bottom end bearings ;) etc.

It will be my first year driving the S13 so would be nice to know for peace of mind in an emergency. I will also be bringing a selection of tools, as will the group I'm going with if anybody needs to borrow any.

Thanks Deacon, I'm going to be bringing spare coilpacks/ sparkplugs but dont have many other spares (engine related). It's reasuring for people to know that there will be parts around.

I never take spares, just get euro recovery in case the worst should happen. Although most 'spares people' have got 13s :wack:

:nod: it covers the 330 and the S14, excess is because the 14 is over 10 years old

No dumbass, I meant in Europe! Like has been said - (without additional excesses) they dont cover you over ten years old.

I think I might get Darryls van covered - or at least check to see if its covered! :wack:

I went 2 years ago in my MR2, which was the same age as the S13 and had to pay extra on my AA cover for Europe. It was really reassuring to know i had the cover with an English speaking emergency line just in case. I'm going to be doing the same again this year, think it was only around £30. It's still nice to know, that for some common faults/ simple fixes we wont have to bother and the SXOC will be at hand.
