Re: Track/race oil

sounds like its time for me to switch to T6, then i can use the same oil in my track car as i do my Truck and Subaru. That would be super convenient!

Re: Upgrade parts or upgrade the driver?

IMO, there would be no downside to installing swaybars while your are still on factory springs and struts, any relearning will be minimal, but the overall balance of the car would be much improved.

Re: prepping a car

i would skip on the brembo blanks and use the money for a 11in ITR/accord front caliper setup. you can get the MINI rotors and ITR calipers almost nothing now days.

Re: Racing seat suggestions and reviews? Help me find a seat for this season!

^ can you actually get decent belt support with a fixed back and factory seatbelts? i would expect the lap belt pockets to make that tricky at best. Just curious if you know from experience.

Re: Racing seat suggestions and reviews? Help me find a seat for this season!

Re: Whats the purpose of a lightweight wing/spoiler?
