- I'm running on the track with the priority of getting good car control, I've noticed you've said don't worry about lap times and turn off TC/VSC for people with that goal, but would something like Aim Solo to look at the line I'm taking be beneficial or not?
I'm using the FRS as a weekend warrior, running a stock setup except for upgraded brakes and will be adding a oil cooler/regulator (the one that subaru's forester and STI comes stock with).
I'm looking to just do mods that will help the car deal with the wear from tracking, and know I won't be able to prevent all the wear. But any recommendations to help the car deal with the track that I might be missing would be helpful.
Thanks

If you're not boosted, an AOS is not really a priority.
A quality race oil will work just fine on the street. Worry more about getting proper cooling for your oil, rather than the oil itself. Any quality full synthetic will get the job done with a proper change interval.
A full data acquisition system will allow you to pinpoint exactly where/how you can improve, and also give you a way to catch errors you would otherwise not recognize. The Solo DL allows for you to see exactly what your driving inputs are (gas, brake, steering), and you can see the result of each input or combination of inputs (lateral g, longitudinal g, yaw rate, speed, acceleration, etc.)
CSG also offers a remote data analysis service if you need your logs analyzed for you.
