Thread: First time out at the track?

    First time out at the track?

    Here is the best guide I've seen so far for track day n00bs. Essential Reading. Seriously. If you've ever even considered taking your car out on the track...this is for you. Lots of pretty pictures and diagrams.

    PDFs in two parts:

    ...And yes, this post absolutely belongs under Performance Tuning.
    If you can thread the needle... and if your drive can lead to Pole Position today, history may hold a place for you tomorrow.

    search. think. do. post.

    Very informative,i learned DOT5 brake fluid is silicone based and isnt suitable for ABS systems because it doesnt contain glycol thus doesnt lube the ABS pump properly....err is this so for the 202 pretty sure i put dot 5 in there last time=)
