Booked in for my first track day in December
So I've booked in for my first track day in December, it's a pretty light event with an instructor in the car for the first half of the day.
Basically I want to know if there is anything I should do to the car in the next three months to make it suited better for the track? It already has a Tomei UEL header and Invidia Q300, running stage 2 OFT tune for the engine and for tyres and suspension hankook RS3's with shockworks coilovers and whiteline 20mm and 18mm sway bar. I'm planning to get a fire extinguisher bracket as this is mandatory apparently. The car is on 27,000km (Around 17,000 miles) so I might replace the brake pads with something that's a bit more suited to track suggestions would be welcome here. Any advice for first timers would be welcome. |

All you really need is brake pads and brake fluid that will last for tracking. Having an oil cooler would be nice as well.
