Help for trackdays

[rcracin]

Change nothing else besides brake pads & brake fluid. I promise you that you were not driving that car at over 50% of its potential if it was your first track day.

After you do more days and, get some sort of data acquisition system to see how you're really doing before you go changing things. Your driver skill is still at almost nothing after only one track day. You'll be a mess with coilovers, slicks, and as supercharger.

By brakes, I mean a BBK. OEM brakes just don't hold up even with high temp track pads.

Like bigjae wrote this is pretty much everything that you can track your car without issues.
You really need BBK, pad, fluid and lines upgrade will not bring you much!
I did all of the above + an extra track wheels(and semi slicks). It's pointless to run street tires on the track as they start melting in 10 mins...

How the f... do you know how the guy is driving and how much he is able to get out of the car?!
He came on the forum asking how/what he should improve on the car. Just tell him.

I'very heard that upgrading to super sticky tires too early isn't a good idea. It masks driver error. Sounds like a good thing on the surface bUT road tires might teach you more,if that makes sense. Once you have some days under your belt, move to stickier compounds. Good luck!

True too much grip can be a bad thing. You will not learn where you are screwing up.

Or when you screw up to the point where you lose control...you'll be going WAY faster. So you go off track further and hit things harder.
