Nice review, I am kind of in the same spot as you-stock 2012 that I just started tracking this summer and I am doing 1 upgrade per session.



You may eventually want to buy another set of wheels/tires. My last track day I removed my 19" potenzas which where 255F/285R and I swapped to 18" 285 Square RS-3's. It was like driving a completely different car-I dropped almost 10 lbs per wheel with the enkei rpf1's from my flashy(but very heavy) Foose 5 stars. With the 285 square setup, I experienced no understeer at all.


I too use Motul 600 RBF and Motul 5W30 V300 racing oil, you might want to move to Motul 660 RBF if you have upgraded your pads.

Also take any left over RBF and replace your clutch fluid as well. I did this before last track day and I swear it also made a night and day different on how my clutch felt-very smooth and much less noise as soon as I left the shop. It was noticeable immediately. Nobody ever thinks about clutch fluid, it is brake fluid and it is a fairly easy thing to change. If your clutch fluid boils-not sure what happens exactly but don't want to find out.

Also with synthetic Oil, I don't think you need to slow down at 250, I think it is more like 270. I usually am at 260/265 after a 20 minute session and have never tripped the "limp mode" , but now summer is getting hotter and I think it kicks in at 275/280. I REALLY need my oil cooler before next time lol.
