So I am looking at what I need to order from cdan and im finding it frustrating. Am I missing it, is there a really good thread on tune ups and what i need? So far i know........
oil filters
air filters
transmission filter and gasket
spark plugs
spark plug wires
distributor cap
pcv valve
fuel filter

please add the other basics i will need
i plan on doing rebuilds of all i can gradually like caliper rebuild kits so on
 
How are the brake pads and such?
Tranny filter just needs to be cleaned not replaced.
Do you have any small leaks that need to be addressed i.e. dizzy o-ring?
What shape are your cooling system hoses in?
What about the t-stat as well.
When I did my pcv valve I also put in a catch can in line between the valve and where it goes to the throttle body.
You would be amazed at what it catchs so that crap does not go into the trottle/intake.
Others have different opinions on the catch can but I like it.
 
well see im in iraq and want this stuff to be ordered and waiting for me when i go home on leave so i can do it, im just trying to figure out what other main things i need, radiator hoses i forgot, all the fluids ill pick up at store when i get back
 
This goes with dizzy but don't forget a rotor. If your doing radiator stuff get a thermostat and new rad cap as well. If it's been a while, get those three belts done! That's all I can think of unless you get real ambitiouse and do the fuel filters.

I always keep a 6 pack of favorite micro on hand for this job as well, but that is probably a given.
 
Everyone's tune-up is different, depending on year and engine.

Generally, a tune up is just the engine components (that's at least what I consider a tune-up).

As such, for a 1FZ-FE, I would consider the following:

90919-21557 (wires)
90919-01176 (plugs x6)
19101-66010 (cap)
19102-61240 (rotor)
17801-61030 (air filter)
90480-18001 (grommet--PCV)
12204-35040 (PCV)
12262-66021 (ventilation hose)
12261-66021 (ventilation hose)
90916-02353-83 (2-set belts)
99332-10910-83 (AC belt)
90915-20004 (small oil filter)
23300-69045 (fuel filter)
22271-66010 (throttle body gasket)


That would be my "ultimate" tune-up.

Wasn't a question of numbers, the question was do you want to add that to your tune up list.

I honestly couldn't remember how many belts I changed when you asked about the belts. I would change them if you can't remember when they were changed or if they look like they need it.
