Ok... I may be able to attend a trackday on the 6th of July. My first time, so here I'm seeking the wisdom of CB5'ers on how I should approach this day both for my car and myself. Not trying to break any record here but want to make the most of this day.
Here's my car:
It has...
-Eibach Prokit,
-C-Bar,
-Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar
and just received the Tyrol brake caliper kit in the mail, will be installing it asap.
Tires... Now I have a choice of using either
-75% worn Bridgestone S03's or
-5% worn Goodyear GSD F1's...
in the front, both in 225/50/16 size.... I've searched the forums a bit, and found some discussions on tire pressures, so will be playing around with that. Starting with 38/38 I think...
and front brakes...
-brand new mintex pads or
-75% worn EBC Greenstuff or
-20% worn EBC Greestuff Ultra (similar naming but with a carbon compound I believe, very very black dust)
these can go with 70% worn pulsating EBC turbo grooves :suspicio: or brand new DBA slotted rotors...
I don't think I'll be able to wear the new rotors "in", in time so I don't think it's the best idea to use new rotors?
also, I have a sub and 2 amps in the trunk.. should I remove those for the day? if I do, the 4hr drive to and back from the race track would be a bit...err quiet... :roll:
Any helpful inputs will be greatly appreciated! thanks!
Mike
