:congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :rock: and plenty of good tunes to listed to:thrasher:
 
Yea there are a few dollars on that list.

I know it is a dream list but as long as we are making suggestions, then go for broke. They are only suggestions and it is not my money. You should do what you can, and have a ball doing it.

I was deadly serious about the VTCOA Sticker/Decal in the Back Window though :D

ha ha just wait till he adds up the $$$ on that list....:eek: :D

Don't forget, medical/physical, fire proof suit, professional driver's schooling, fire extinguisher, Tire Rack tires, Snell helmets, (no support cars), and gas to your 2700 fee.

Enjoy, should be fun, just be aware plenty of red tape. We looked at it back in 2006.
 
Fluids!!! :D

Make sure you have a fresh oil change and have flushed brake lines (Motul 600 is your friend ;) )

Upgrade your pads and bring an extra set.
Bring extra oil, antifreeze, brake and power steering fluid.

Polly bushings are an easy upgrade, QA1's....although the OEM shocks are pretty good.
1" x 2" drop if you havent already.

Check your fender wells for loose screws.

Tools!

Jack, jack stands, misc tools, gloves, blanket, aluminum foil (what ever broke will be hot)

Recommend neck pad and 4 point harness.


Make sure you drive around a bit to cool your brakes after your session. (Dont use your parking brake!) :argh: :D
