Your brake pads will be most important aside from the tires. I wouldn't worry about all the other stuff just yet until you have a good hands on experience on what the car is doing or not doing for that matter.

"too low and will spin out" doesn't make any sense at all...

Make sure the car is mechanically sound and add fresh brake fluid/pads. You should be good to go for your first time on track.

I also just changed my brake on saturday to hawk hps pads with blank rotors and made a lil modification to my shifter i feel like it helps be shift better.will post pic

You're right... leaving those two screws in the center console will make a big difference to the shift feel.

sctish1791

correct me if im wrong but i was told you want your control arm to be leveled and that is your optimal height

Xian

You're wrong.

Keep the car as is, add decent brake pads; ie. Hawk HPS or HP+, then bleed the system with some DOT4 fluid and have fun.

sctish1791

ok i have hps pads now just have to change the fluid

sctish1791

ha ha funny i mean the plate around the shifter. i use to have a problem pulling the shifter towards me when going into second.

Xian

Yep, typically the first time on track you'll be using way more brake than you actually need... going to a more heat tolerant pad will be a big help and having fresh fluid is a nice safety net as well. No need to go and drop the coin on Motul or the high end fluids... just grab some Valvoline SynPower or Castrol LMA. Should be fine.

Nothing wrong with a sedan... i know two of them that became HC national champions.
Very good drivers owned them too.

Xian

I know an ex-sedan owner who's still nostalgic for them...

Man I wanted to buy that thing from you so bad, but I had recently decided to become a broke college student again at the time...

Xian

You know it's "kinda" for sale right now... Won the VIR13 a couple years back too.
