I have a 93 Z28 A4 putting down 348 RWHP / 345 RWTQ and 4.10 gears.
I also own a bone stock '99 BMW 328i, but I doubt I will be racing it. (daily driver) I have literally no road racing experience, not even as a spectator. I am thinking of participating in an upcoming event (MFBA) at Road America. The suspension mods on the car are as follows: SLP Eibach/Bilstein shocks/springs Front/rear ES sway bar endlinks front hollow strano bar ls1 brakes (stock pads and rotors right now but they have minimum wear) I installed new tie rod ends and balljoints engine and tranny mounts are ES polyurethane will be getting Nitto RIIs very shortly I was going to convert the car to a T56, but that might not be happening for a while. Are there a lot of people racing autos with good results? Any recommendations for the first time on the track? Should I add anything (modifications) else? Thanks! |

My 2cents...if its your first time on a track, don't spend any money on anything other than decent brake fluid. Go to the Ford dealer and pick up some HD Ford fluid for $3, it'll rival anything out there for the first couple of days (which is all you care about anyway). If your pads have less than 2/3s material left, then get new ones (at which point you might consider upgrading to something better than OEM).
Your goals for the first day are to 1) not wad the car and 2) to have fun and learn, and you don't need to spend money to accomplish either. There's no point spending money on something you don't know you'll want to continue. Now...I know once you do it you'll go back, but maybe when you go back you'll decide on working towards a particular class or something. |
