I am so excited for my first track day. I know this BRZ is really going to shine on the track with is strong fundamentals(light weight RWD Manual)

Just wanted to say Hi

Thanks,

Congrats on the car, looks great! I've been tracking my FR-S the past 3 years and it's been solid. Haven't had any mechanical issues other than the occassional coilpack going bad (may want to carry a spare at the track).

Looking over your mod list, you probably want a bigger oil cooler than the Perrin if you're going to be supercharging it. I'm using the Perrin and even NA, I've seen oil temps as high as 244 F at the track (i.e., somewhat low oil pressure with 0w30/5w30). I've heard good things about Jackson Racing's oil cooler (and supercharger, for that matter), so might be worth a look. Also probably want to add some form of front camber adjustment (plates, bolts, etc.)

BTW does the series yellow come with Brembos? If so I'd be curious how they hold up at the track with a decent set of pads.
