I will go to a track next month with my friends. There will be a M3, EVO and new Bosxter~
I have Stillen Sway bars, Intake, lighter pullys, headers and cat back Exhaust
What else do I need to be "ok and safe" to go on a track?
What do I need to beat them~?

Tell me what you think
I wanna put some mods again

 

Tire are everything man. The single "mod" that can shave a couple seconds off your lap. Is R compound tires legal for the track that you will be on? If so, I'd give yourself the advantage and pop those bad boys on.

 

the new boxter s is a beast

 

With those mods and good slicks, you may give the boxter a nice run. Possibly the evo as well, depending on the driver really. Let us know how it goes.

 

The best mod is to take a racing/performance driving class, and get some track time. I've lapped M3's with bad drivers, just because I could drive a little bit. Your mods sound good though, you should be able to keep up with them. Like the others have said though, good tires will change everything.

 

After tires I would look into a re-flash on your ECU, then a flywheel.
If you are going to go FI, then don't waste your money on the ECU.

 

yeah i totally agree with everyone else tires are going to be a big factor, if you cant grip the track then your screwed...good luck give them a run for their money and let us know how it goes...good luck

 

willow?



let me know when you go! i'll probably see if i can join you!

 

Thanks

 

Wow, I throught you guys will say Coilover or MREV++ something~
So what if I get PIAA 20-Inch 2-piece wheels and a Nitto NT555 tire
will that be better than get a coilover?

 

I'll let you know

 

WHAT! Don't use your 20" rims you won't beat anyone with that setup. And there is more to tracking than just having good tires. I don't suggest going all out the first time at the track. You need seat time forget about beating anyone for now. Just know your car get the feel for the abilities of the G. More important than tires for first timers are upgrading your brakes. Get a good set of pads and change your brake fluid to racing fluid. This will prevent brake fade and boil over. The objective for now is to have fun and not fly off the track trying to catch someone. Remember to take it easy until your comfortable with the track and the car. Enjoy and goodluck!

 

Assuming 'track' is not 1/4 mile...then definately get yourself some new brake pads. I'd start by looking at some Ferodo DS2500. Next to tires they're the most important place to start for both safety and lap times.

 

Learn how to change your brake pads, so once you get there you can switch to race pads.

 

Thanks
I just ordered a Tein Flex with EDFC today
I will call them on Monday and ask for a better Pad and break lines too
