You may eventually want to buy another set of wheels/tires. My last track day I removed my 19" potenzas which where 255F/285R and I swapped to 18" 285 Square RS-3's. It was like driving a completely different car-I dropped almost 10 lbs per wheel with the enkei rpf1's from my flashy(but very heavy) Foose 5 stars. With the 285 square setup, I experienced no understeer at all.


I too use Motul 600 RBF and Motul 5W30 V300 racing oil, you might want to move to Motul 660 RBF if you have upgraded your pads.

Also take any left over RBF and replace your clutch fluid as well. I did this before last track day and I swear it also made a night and day different on how my clutch felt-very smooth and much less noise as soon as I left the shop. It was noticeable immediately. Nobody ever thinks about clutch fluid, it is brake fluid and it is a fairly easy thing to change. If your clutch fluid boils-not sure what happens exactly but don't want to find out.

Also with synthetic Oil, I don't think you need to slow down at 250, I think it is more like 270. I usually am at 260/265 after a 20 minute session and have never tripped the "limp mode" , but now summer is getting hotter and I think it kicks in at 275/280. I REALLY need my oil cooler before next time lol.
Yes i also did motul 600 for the clutch but the xlutch was inconsistent..... i had to replace the slave cylinder and i went with the zsp csc but didnt replace the master cylinder... then i found the reservoir with black grease on the reservoir. Some guys say its from the broken seals of the master cyl. I orderrd the master cyl last week.

As far as the tyre set up i am happy with it. The grip on the michelin pilot super sports is crazy!!! It may not be as the re11s but they handle like a dream.. i have the front 265/45/19 and rear 295:40/19... i will eventually but a set for the track probably.

You say 260 is not that high for.the oil temp? I was thinking that was really high
