You can replace those as money permits. When I went to the Glen, I had brake fluid, clutch fluid, carbotechs, oil cooler, tires and that's it. Now that I think about it, I still have the same thing on my car. I have two mortgages to pay, can't afford to dump it into the car.

I have motul brake fluid. No brake lines yet. Didnt have the money for those along w everything else. Working on the brake lines, sway bars and a set of coil overs.

I do give the guy credit. It takes some balls to being a car like that out there. Butttt I think he could have beat on it a little bit lol

Coming home with a complete car and a little slower then coming one w a wrecked car.

When I was in NJMP two years ago, I pushed my car a little too hard and went onto the grass. Thank god these new tracks have huge runoffs compare to the older tracks.

Problem is the run off is on the outside of the corner. The two that crashed tried to save it, spun back across the track and into the inside tire wall. It is important to take note of where the run off is and isn't, an off road excursion isn't all bad as long as you don't hit anything.

yup, very good point. It takes practice to know where to go off without hitting things

I changed the fluid and kept the stock line, clutch has been good. Probably a little extra insulation around the line wouldn't hurt either.

I just dip a piece of paper towel in the clutch reservoir every two months (since the car was new), suck it dry and refill with Amsoil. I haven't had a clutch fade in over 14 track days and 400 autox runs with this car. Of course I also shift like a grandma, no Vin Diesel shifts for me.
