Tips for a beginner

[silversleeper]

I think I've made the decision to start building my car for te course and not the strip... Ive driven a few courses before and didn't do to bad... Given I wasn't going fast and was out there alone... What I'm asking for is pointers on what the most important mods are to getting my car set up for it... Gears? I'm n/a at the moment but have a Saleen blower for it waiting to be installed... Any and all help will be appreciated...

Seat time + tires.

Two best mods.

I wouldn't worry about gearing or power just yet, I started out in a 460rwhp 2900lb RX7, and I learned much more driving a slow ass 240sx. I would try to get some decent suspension and tires on it.

I'm a beginner as well. CYAZ06 is working on my suspension package, but as soon as my car gets delivered I will be going to HPDE events to learn more on this twisty stuff. I will also be autocrossing.

I'm also on the hunt for wheel and tire combos, but I've pretty much gotten that figured out.

Power adders aren't necessary. A naturally aspirated motor will be more consistent throughout a race. You might want to think about selling it and putting that money into wheels, tires, and suspension.

I am looking forward to seeing you guys at the autox and DE events!

blower on road course = boom. Maybe not the first event, but eventually. Not to mention they weigh a ton.


Seat time first. Brakes second. Suspension mods 3rd. Then sticky tires when the organization you run with allows them...usually above the intermediate driving levels.

then quality brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, and fresh fluid.

then more seat time, seat time and seat time.

Learn confidence but no cocky.

Cocky just puts grass in the tire beads.
