Just curious as to what prep everyone will be doing on their car's for the upcoming track day??
Servicing? (plugs, leads, filters, electrics, transmission etc)
Brakes? (pads, fluids, rotors etc)
Tyres (new set, or swap for old set, possibly swap for some r-spec?)
Tuning (advance the timing maybe? Or just general tune)
Being that the day will take it's toll on your car, I reckon you'd want to do at least a few of the following things:

Being that the day will take it's toll on your car, I reckon you'd want to do at least a few of the following things:
- Ensure you have enough brake pad(s) to last the day (ideally significantly more than 50%)
- Oil Filter / Oil Change (obvious reasons)
- Good Oil Pressure
- Sufficient Cooling (check coolant levels, and also ensure aux fan is working)
- No moving objects within car (eg. remove all free floating objects throughout cabin - including glovebox)
- Transmission service (if you will be driving an auto as a manual..eg. manual shifting and holding gears)
Me personally, i'll be:
- Changing Sparkplugs
- Oil Filter / Change
- Fuel Filter
- Air Filter Clean / Oil (K&N of course)
- Upgrade Rotors - Front & Rear (Slotted front, solid rear)
- Flood Brake lines completely and fill with new Dot 4 (possibly change out master cylinder and reservoir with good 2nd hand one from spares)
- Tune up / Timing (fill with some good premium fuel and octane boost and advance timing appropriately)
- Weld up diff (Cause chewing out rear tyres is sh!tting me to bits!)
- Swap out 2 rear yokohama a032r's for a better set of 2nd hand yoko's from spares.
So, who's doing what??
