R&D Factory: Track Day - Turtle Battle 1!!!

The brakes? of course, although they'll probably wonder why you're having the brake fluid replaced ahead of factory schedule.

You'll want to have fresh/relatively fresh fluids in the car, and top everything off as well. Make sure your tires have at least 4/32" left, and at least 5mm brake materiel.

This is all just basic tech inspection stuff...

About 25%

25% as in 4/32" or 25% as in 2.5/32"?

If it's 4/32", you can probably get away with it but you'll be driving home on slicks.

2.5/32"... throw them away. They're good for a few burnouts.

25% of a 100% new tire
You say that these are sticky tires but i have trouble getting any grip at all with them. I can slide my car around any corner. haha

[mIKE]

25% of a new tire is 2.5 or 3 32nd's.... use em for burnouts

[silverg35sport]

I looks like more than 2.5 32nds..ill measure them and post some pics tomorrow hopefully

[mIKE]

Tires are typically replaced at 2/32"... so no don't use those

[silverg35sport]

Ya they are definately not worn out yet. I just don't know the tire lingo and measurements. I'll measure them

[mIKE]

SOB I'm shopping for tires and everyone is out or really expensive...

Question: My car is all stock suspension, with intake and exhaust... would I be the least modded, look like a tard bringing my car to the track. I am a very spirited driver and think this would be a blast! Any input for a young track noob?

[mIKE]

Intake/Exhaust is more mods than the car I'll be running.

Everyone has to start somewhere right? Stock or close to stock is also the best way to start. You'll have a blast!
