Hey Carvers,
Love what you guys have done with this place, one of my favorite subforums on the net.
Okay, @sskissing aside, here's my situation. I'm starting my first season of autocross and I'm trying to follow what people say over and over again in here: drive your car to her limits, then make improvements where you find you need them. So that's what I'm going to do.
BUT, it seems like certain replacement parts are a necessity in autocross/competitive driving that I'll have to buy just to stay on the road. So, if you guys would be kind enough to let me know what I will end up needing after a few sessions, I would really appreciate it.
Seems to me I will need:
1. Extra brake pads, preferably the Hawk pads (the racing models I'm guessing).
2. Front rotors from newtakeoff.com
And I guess that's it. Am I missing anything else obvious? I know nicer tires would be nice too, but I'm guessing it takes a while to burn through a set of tires.
I've heard people mention upgraded brake fluid too, but I don't know if that's needed, or suitable for street use.
Any advice appreciated. Just trying to fly my noob flag proudly and get all the help I can.
PS I got 305/30/22s on all four corners. I keed, I keed!
