Oil Cooler Install in NoVa

Tigger

If you want to hit the track, as long as you do get your lines and fluid changed (I always used Catrol SRF, Many like the Motul stuff...and its way cheaper but has a lower boiling point. SRF is the highest boiling point of any so your pads will fade long before your fluid goes to ****) then you really shouldn't have much of a problem using the stock pads. However! If you smoke those pads at the track, you'll really need to change them before you leave. Someone might be willing to assist but I doubt anyone is going to just do the work, as simple as it is, entirely for you. So if there is one thing I recommend you get familiar with and learn to do, it's changing those pads. You can do each wheel in five minutes. It has nothing to do with being sexy or anything. There's lots of women that do this sort of thing. I would say you could be completely hands off the mechanical stuff if you wanted but the fact that you want to track it occasionally will force you into having to do these things whether you really want to or not.

Cooling ducts are a very cheap mod and well worth it like Z Stig said. You need to keep your brakes and your oil cool. Once you have those bases covered you can thrash the **** out of that car.

And those pop-chargers. lol... Yes. There will be conflicting information on this. Short ram intakes are well known for only increasing noise and robbing you of power and there's two reasons. One is the length of the tube to the filter from the manifold and the fact that they suck in hot air from the bay. I would run the stock intake before I ever thought about changing for the SRI. If you want to keep an intake on there, get the Stillen G3s. They come up for sale fairly often in the classifieds.

Lots of information. I have a habit of being very long-winded and I apologize. Just hope you are getting all the information you need. This forum is full of great information. Just keep digging in some of the older threads. You'll find an answer for almost everything else.

And definitely hit up Takjak!!!! Great guy. And if you are nice he might give you a ride in his track car. Buckle up fo' rilz. .
