Any updates Forklord?

Here is what I've done to prep for this season
1- ordered new tires- they will be a version of the PSS
2- got my alignment numbers ready to give to my shop
3-'ordered my tow hooks from ZL Addons (on the forum here)
4 - got new braided steel brake lines and will flush with Dot 4
5- read about tires and racing, reading tire temps and what they mean and how they relate to handling and alignment

Then I'm set to go. All my fluids are changed, engine, trans and diff. Brakes coming
I'll need to explore more oil cooling later for track days but I feel the above will launch me better into AuoX

#6 is the BIGGY!
I've signed up for 3 day driver traing to start my SCCA licensing requirements.The best mod money you can spend is on YOU. Get some seat time with a proper instructor and itll knockoff more time than modding ever will. S/C is fine as long as its not creating tons of Boost = Heat so turn it down amd work on driving. Then brakes and and suspension and then and only then more power. I can garauntee that 90% of the guys cant handle the stock vehicle well and the last thing they need is more power. It'll just get you into a situation you are not ready to deal with.

Post some pics of your racing season, we all want to follow along and see how you do.,
