Even worse, a $7000 EG with a D16Y, thick rear sway bar and coilovers will beat both our times!Quote:

Then I'll have to bring in the big guns (commodore) lol. I like Ben's suggestion of going on a weekday open day. Less people and cheaper. BYO GPS timing.Quote:

Instead of preparing your car for the track like hardcore and assuming you have never been before, you should go as is and slowly adding those mods you have planned and experience the difference mod by mod. Your satisfaction would be much greater than jumping in there thinking you got the best car and a shit box pwnz you.
yea thats true, i appreciate your input guys. Hurry up and book in a track day so we can all go! im really looking forward to it!
Are the stock pads ok for track?
Stock pads are ok for 1 or 2 sessions. Then you will find that they don't bite anymore because of the overheating. If you thoroughly cool the brakes in between sessions, then it will be ok. But it is difficult unless you go for a looooooong drive. I tried driving for 10 minutes between session at the speed limit (I think was 80 or 100km/h) and the brakes were still not cooled down enough.Quote:
