[QUOTE="ftzone, post: 4461950, member: 9659"] To make things simple for track days: There are 2 options for you. The $$$ way and the budget way. [U]Budget Way:[/U] Make sure no oil leaks. Brake fluid is fresh. Brakes are in good condition and try to use brake pads of higher temperature range. (If you use normal street brake pads) they may damage your rotors if you use them too hard. Recommend you 400-500deg C should be good enough. What brand of brake pad up to your budget...Cooling systems are also important... make sure it does it's job. No leaks and radiator fan working properly. I talk from experience. Tyres in good condition... semi slicks are rich man toys at the tracks. Also, if you use semi slicks in Kg.Gajah they will wear off very very fast. Give your front wheels the maximum negative camber you can get. At least negative 2deg if possible. Kg Gajah Circuit really demanding of tyre grip during corners. The $$ Way.. A lot can be done. Coilovers, upgraded bushing, brake upgrades, Engine upgrade.. what ever your wallet can stand you do it and try it out. Hahahaa.. Tips: Bring extra spark plugs, engine oil, brake oil if you have. Never know when you gotta top up those important fluids. Lots of drinking water. Clear up your car cabin of any things which may interfere your fierce driving.
