Headed down to Fest and will do a track day at Fontana Speedway with my 98 Cali as it cleared not requiring a rollbar. It's been 20 years since my last track day at Laguna Seca, so I'm a little Noobie excited.
Thinking about car prep, here's what I am completing over the next two weeks. Generally the car is in good maintained shape. Posting here to see if I am missing any considerations.
- Cooling system check, oil and filter change
- I've upgraded the suspension a notch. (CA Coilovers, F/R Mason strut tower bars)
- This weekend I will do brakes, rotors, rear E34 caliper swap, Hawk Plus pads on four corners and a ATE fluid flush. E36 328i vented rotor and calipers and SS braided brake lines are already in. I'll bring spare pads and rotors to the event.
- Install a 3.45 small case LSD when I get a moment.
- I have a fresh set of rear tires to throw on the Contours, front tires are fine.
- Mounting a fire extinguisher (I have them in all the other cars) along with a small first aid kit.
- Front and rear GoPro's
- I'll pick up a full face helmet and gloves next week.
- I'll use a rental transponder from the track.
- I'll leave the rear seats at home and clear out any non-essential stuff out of the car. I'll pull the driver's side carpet before I start the day.
I had hoped to drop one of the DASCs I have in before the event, but I really don't think I'll have sufficient install and test time before the event with work commitments.
Have I missed anything? Thanks guys for any feedback here!
