Winter Prep for Spring Auto-X

tims370z · 01-13-2018, 10:36 PM

I'm sitting here thinking about spring and what I need to be doing now to get ready for my first auto-X with Z. Its in storage until April. Not looking to make it go faster or turn better, just looking for suggestions on what I should do when I wake it up and what can I do now to make sure I get home safely. One that came to mind was to bleed to brakes. Clutch too? Would love for your help in passing the time this winter

For what you want, change fluids and inspect. Not much is needed for autox since the sessions are short and have long periods in between. Read through this site Autocross to Win (DGs Autocross Secrets) - ATW Home Page and/or get the book "Secrets of Solo Racing: Expert Techniques for Autocross and Time Trials Paperback – February 11, 1990

Tires are the best upgrade you can make.
Fastest tires will be RE71 or Rival S. Some front camber wouldn't hurt either.
