I'm trying to see if I can make it to Aug 12th Oregon Raceway Park ORP-club day event.

The plan
OEM-ish baseline:

Cusco rear UCAs and camber bolts installed for alignment.
Get the alignment, targeting -3 camber front (not sure if it's possible), -2 or more at the rear.
Replace stock tires with Falken RT660 225/45/17s.
Install AP endurance BBK, as well as race pads.
Put a higher temp window oil (would 5W-30 work?), as well as Castrol SRF brake fluid.

These should make the car ready for track with no braking issues. After this, I will start adding the remaining mods (most important of which is coilovers of course), and we'll see how the handling and lap times changes : )

Already received almost everything (except the harness bar). AP brakes look good.

Opted for the bigger brakes, especially since float design is much more resistant to cracks, etc.

Falken RT-660 street tires

Yum yum; MCS 2WNR

I also plan to test tires' heat cycles with a durometer..
