Thanks for the advice guys. I was hoping that the stock pads would be sufficient as I'm trying to make the first track day as "economical" as possible. I did just drop a big chunk of change on down payment. Although I don't want to waste my time going to the track if the stock pads or fluid wont even hold up for a few laps. I'm sure you guys know exactly what I'm getting at.
What do you guys think of the new Mobil 1 oil they got at Walmart? The fuel conserving kind. Is it crap? The oil filter should last through the track day. I plan on upping the viscosity to 0w-30 for the trackday then bringing my car for the complimentary 1000mile oil change at the dealer soon after.
I haven't really driven a car like this in this fashion (a sporty compact car as fast as it will go) in a very long time, so upgrading to expensive components will be a waste right now. Just trying to relearn how to drive a car on the track for now. Expensive brakes, suspension tires etc will come later once I get aquatinted with Pearl(my FR-S).
Btw I just ordered some stoptech pads and some ate blue stuff. I hope this will be sufficient. Cheers!
see you guys on the tracks!
