In between each stage, I want to do some track and dyno readings. Let me know if anything seems out of order or dependent on a different part.
Stage 1:
- Oil Cooler
- Brakes
- Sway Bars
- Track Tires
Stage 2:
- Exhaust
- Upgraded Plugs and Wires
- ECU
Stage 3:
Stage 4:
Trim Parts and Sexiness 
I am a complete newbie! Thank you for any advice you can give! |
ryanstreet- I started racing my Z this year and have basically done what everyone here is saying to do: get seat time. This has worked pretty well for me. I've done as many autocross events as I could -- all the local events and I've traveled to a quite a few within a few hr drive. I've also done one track day at NCM which was a blast (scca track night in America).
Personally, I plan to mainly do autocross in the stock/street classes which only allow limited mods. This is good because it allows me to improve my driving skills in a level playing field. The Z does appear to be competitive in "B Street" against the S2000s, C5 Corvettes and Audis.
Having said all that, I would do an oil cooler and Motul racing brake fluid before you take it on a track.
Here's a link to scca rules which go over what you can do in street class:

Good luck getting addicted.
