Track preparation advice

[Limbo]

been doing mine every 10k.
use geniune OEM, i've heard too many issues with honda gboxes when u start using other items

How often do you guys change MTF when you track your car? My gearbox feels very notchy at times ao far have nearly 32,000kms. Should I be changing fluid before or after?

P.S Try watching some vids on youtube, there are alot of upped in car cams that will give you some idea of track lines etc.

Im going to wakefield park on the 30th June for the first time and I am really excitied...

so you are going with the AUSCA boys and the Odysessy/Elgrand group

I might see you on that day but I won't be driving though

If you want I will bring the tools/tyre pressure gauge and pump

my advice is...get enough sleep the night before

Yea i guess ill bring a tyre pressure gauge and see how i go. Nevertheless, thanks for the tips! Another question about braking....i know my stock brakes are most likely going to fade...as i have already orded some pads but wont be delivered in time for track...if i just upgrade brake fluid like the one fatboyz recommended will that improve my braking ability?

Replacing brake fluid will only prevent/delay the brake fluid boiling. It will not improve braking ability nor will it prevent brake fade. My advice is to not ride the brakes. Brake hard when you need to and then off the brake when not required. Try to reduce trail braking.

LOL u guys must be boiling then!

Open the driver's side window.

Wow, good read so far, me and a few guys are planning on hitting wakefield mid July, will also be our first time. Any more reccomendations in regards to not having any issues and being able to actaully drive the car safely home?

Change the required fluids before and then change everything after (except for coolant).

If you have never changed it in the 32000km, then change it before. You will have to change it again after the trackday.

1 warm up lap, 2 hot laps and then 1 cool down lap. Then you can go for another 2 hot laps and alternate. Be careful when you are on your cool down lap because the cars will be coming up from behind very very quickly. For the cooldown lap, I'm still going pretty quick, but the engine RPM is at about 3000-4000 rpm.

Thanks for everyones advice in this thread, much appreciated! Another question, will VSA be beneficial during track or should i turn it off?? (i have a 2007 fn2r, so no LSD)

[moo moo nel]

turn it off
VSA will make the car acting funny on track
