OEM parts to stockpile

Post by Klasse » Wed Aug 07, 2019 8:58 pm

So I lurk a lot but this is my first thread. Not a simple question but here goes.

As everything is getting discontinued currently I'm looking to stockpile parts to keep it alive. I have some things but would like advice on what else would be good. Car is a '97 DB8R, with the equivalent of 75,000 miles and is in good original condition. I do about 1000 km a year so not much. Not looking to do a concours resto but just keep it tidy and running nicely. I am thinking mechanical type parts now, distributor, possibly inner and outer CVs, suspension bushes, tie rods. And whatever else people recommend!

Stuff I already have new/used:

New OEM clutch (fitted)
New OEM LMAs (fitted)
OEM oversize pistons
badges and decals
Rocker cover
Shifter bushes
Windscreen trim
cap, rotor, plugs
bump stops
Recaros
Rear seat
Few sets of headlights
Steering wheel
Floor mats
Windscreen
A shit load of plastic screws/clips from pick-a-part
Front bumper
Front lip x2
96 spec wheels x2

All the spark plug holder clips, my friend has been looking for them and one on ebay is going for 100 shipped from Japan...I ended up buying all of them back in 2017.

Usdm cat. converter. Almost impossible to find these days. Although since I said that someone will probably post a link lol.

Edit: but may not apply to OP since he's has jdm db8R.

Unsure if JDM is a different distributor, I might get a price from Honda, throw up a little, then look for one used.

Do you mean the holders for the HT leads? Hadn't thought of those, although all present and correct at the moment.

Hadn't thought of the cat either, mine will probably become clogged eventually. Thanks

If you’re doing an exterior restore, here’s a few that are now discontinued that I hunted for.

Wiper cowl
Antenna seal
Rear wiper seal

Thanks I might look for them, although no rear wiper on the ITR sedan at least.

I'm thinking more mechanical parts where the aftermarket might not be as well made. Just hard to know where to sink the $.
