370z track mod checklist

It all depends on what you're wanting to do. Also, what experience you have.

If you are an inexperienced driver. I would recommend your first "to do" should be a few track days at a driving school like Bondurant or something similar. It sounds like you have some disposable income if you're making a 35K car your track only car so $1,500.00 at a good driving school will be money well spent.

After you have prepared yourself, to prepare the car I would recommend the race oil cooler, brake pads and some good tires to start with. Also, you'll want to change out the brake fluid. Someone mentioned Castrol SRF. It is good but it's pricey and if you are able to boil it, you will find that it doesn't came back to what it once was. Most pro's say it comes back to about 60-75% of its performance before boiling. However, AP Racing fluid is about a third the price, has a boiling point around the same temperature and comes back about 90% after it has boiled.

If you are an experienced driver then what events and what type of driving/racing are you doing and how much do you want to spend?
