to be competitive do the following:
1. get with someone whos raced at the track before, preferable a chassis setup person, ask for his recomendations.2. get road race or "R" compound tires.3. find a shop that can corner weigh your car.4. after thats done get this in order:-race spec adjsutable coilovers, wither with an adjustable spring rate(via a secondary spring etc like TEIN RA or Apex-I n-1 or Cusco R coilovers) and dampner adjustment (the more adjustable the better)-A set of adjustable sway bars, or sway bars set the way you want them, -Full roll cage, front and rea strut bars-Upper pillow ball mounts-as much adjustable allignment/undercar suspension epices as you can afford, such as front tension rods, upper arms, and rear toe links, rear upper arms, etc.-replace every soft bushing you have with a stiffer one, ala NISMO, energy suspension, etc-LSD. LSD. LSD.5. once all thats installed, and you're broke beyond belief, take the car back to the corner weighing shop, and to the chassis setup person and adjust everything the way you, and he want it. 6. if possible, run a test lap on pre-heated tires.7. adjust a few things via experience from test lap8. run another test lap
if you improve your times, write down the suspension settings you used, and ticker away until you find a settup that yeilds your best performance, then get ready for track day.-chetalso, if you still have any money after all that, can I borrow a few grand?
