[QUOTE="laruei, post: 6747922, member: 70591"] Ok... ive just decided! Im going to go to Willow on the 21st and race.. i will use the little money i have saved up for upgrades, on a track day and gas.. apparently that link for open track racing after reading, with the entry fee you can get an instructor for 30 min to help with the basics...basically i wanna get out there and see how hooked im gonna get and go from there..one of the deciding factors was this: [url]http://www.opentrackracing.com/galleries/march12-08/pages/IMG_4312.htm[/url] if that guy can drive a KIA around the track im pretty confident my car even in the shape its in (which i dont think is that bad but apparently not completely track capable) should be fine :) SO if anyone can answer those questions above that would be GREATLY appreciated.. but if not then these ones? What if anything is an absolute necessity for going out the first time. Im pretty confident as sh!tty as drilled rotors are they will be fine for one track day right? My brake fluid isnt black so that should be fine? Coolant is a nice Golden color... Clutch works perfect along with the shifter... The rear end is the only thing on the car i worry at all about.. above 130 it shakes.. i dont know how fast the straight out of 9 is but i dont want it locking up and sending me into a wall.. if im in the begginers class i dont have to do 130 down the straights even if i can right? Tires should be fine... Maybe run some colder plugs to compensate for the slightly lean tune.. Ideas are deffinitely entertained now! I have one week to get er ready :) Thanks again.. [/QUOTE]
