Tuning a Euro for the circuit...where to start?

**driven** · 29-05-2006 07:10 PM

brakes, coilovers and tyres would be a good start.

If you're on a budget for brakes,
just get good pads(i've got high temp pads for the euro, both front and rear for sale btw), steel braided brakelines and high temp brake fluid.

or if you've got the cash, aftermarket calipers!
4 pot- spoon, willwood
6 pot- AP racing, endless

Coilovers, got a wide range available. Tein, buddyclub, endless zeal, aragosta etc.

tyres, get a good set of street tyres(AD07, RT615, RE01 etc.) or if you've got the cash, run semi slicks(R888,RE55s,A048,D02j,D01 etc) or get a set of track rims and chuck semi slicks on them.

as for the other mods that you've mentioned.
if you havent got a budget

Header-Maximworks (other options, comptech, Toda, DC sports, six sigma)
Intake-GruppeM (comptech, Injen, Mugen)
exhaust-Amuse! or maybe the J's racing. Both are full titanium catback systems.(5zigen, buddyclub, comptech,Mugen,Spoon N1 etc.)

and while you're at it, get a heavy duty clutch, lighter flywheel and possibly a LSD. and you're good to go!

if i had my time again the majority of my budget would go purely to handling mods, they are the most fun IMO

hondatech package would give you more than enough power. bang for buck though... don't underestimate a lightweight flywheel and good clutch, that's my favourite "power" mod so far

Make it stop and go around corners... that makes a good track car.

"driven" has some good suggestions above, but remember that to make the most of r-compound tyres, you'll need more camber and castor than with road tyres to make the most of them at the track... alot of people forget that you need to be more agressive with your alignment settings if you run semis.

If you haven't had much track experience - stick to standard road tyres... and you don't need alot of mods to hit the track. Get out there and learn the car first, and then when you've got you head around it, then you can tweak it to go faster round the track!

Have fun!
