First track day in the books. I was ****, but the car did great besides cooking the power steering fluid. I flushed it with AMSOil fluid and it has been fine since. Also ordered a power steering cooler just to be safe. Oil temps got a little hotter than I expected, so I swapped to AMSOil Dominator racing oil and it has also been fine since.

Second track day. I'm still ****, but the car had no issues at all.

Third track day. Car made it 2 sessions, but I was then greeted with a clutch pedal that stuck to the floor a bit. My guess is that I cooked the clutch fluid since it returned to normal by the time I got home. More concerning, when I arrived home the car sputtered and stalled at idle. Started back up fine, but tried to die again at idle. Hopefully nothing serious.

Next up for mods is the power steering cooler and a new Z1 front strut brace that I couldn't resist picking up. Next track day won't be until September due to my schedule.
