I think all of us here understand that the basic longevity/safety mods don't really affect how the car drives. Oil cooler, brake fluid, brake pads.

It's different than taking a stock car, before...

Yeah, it's all subjective. You have to tune the car to the way you drive, and you can only know what to tune when you know the car through time.

You might not now, but it is a part that's known to degrade as you get heat cycles through it. My car has 163,000 miles on it, with maybe 15 track days, and it finally went.

Make sure you change your coolant heater hose junctions kids. Mine popped while I was gridding for the first session of the day.

Man that sucks. Such a low mile motor - you really don't hear these things popping all too often.

If you have the time/storage, parting out will net you the most money.

Looks good! Get that ride height up a bit and run a bit closer to the curb. You can easily jump a few of those curbs at BW and gain some time.

Also curious as to your best time.

The stock rotors are fine. I ran something like 7 trackdays on them without issue before swapping to the Z1 2pc.

I personally can't justify the cost of one of these things, but it's pretty high up there on the list of unnecessary wants. It pulls weight out of the front (ish) and kinda high up in the car too.

I wonder - would an X pipe or crossover do anything here? I assume the exhaust pulses would have been muffled by this point, post turbo, but you have the opportunity here for some noises.

Yeah, I typically drive a few hours to and from the track. If it makes it home and starts the next day without funny noises I count it as a success.
