Trackday Preperation Questions

LOL Falken Azenis!

I'll be running mismatched tyres this coming trackday (18" Dunlop Sport Maxx front, DZ101 back), but for a few laps I'll be using 15" G-Grids at the back, I hope I won't meet the wall...............

@ siren, i checked with 2 wof inspectors today, you dont need brake backing plates, in fact i remember some cars dont even come out factory with them

Wofs coming up soon. Backing plates will be gone by then. I think they are held on by torx bolts.

Just have to talk to my boss and see if i can have the day off work to go to the track day. Hopefully see you there

Yep. Will have to cut a bit too (by the caliper mounts, it's the smallest part)

My cars almost sorted.
Just about to sort out some consumables for the car and myself.

What time do we have to be there tomorrow?

before 1030, if you don't want to wait to cross the track into the pits.

Wow that was so much fun!
Managed to get the levin off the clock multiple times down the back straight, at least 190kph, then I started braking.
I think ill ignore drag racing and do this more often. So much better $ wise too,

Running a 15w40 semi synthetic engine oil.
My engine oil temps were at 120 deg C after about 3 laps
What temps have others experienced?
Would this be considered high?

+1
That was so much fun even though my car is severely underpowered. Found out that the car handles very well because of the handling mods, i was catching a few cars in the bends.

Dad said that the best time he clocked me at was 1:26 which im quite happy with. Also found out that my car will go sideways if pushed and that I can beat the ABS

Vids are being uploaded soon

Yeah they do "Open Testing Days" pretty often. There's one next Saturday (21st May) that I'm aiming for, if I can get my car back together in time. The Herb Morgan SR20DET E30 is going to be there too.
