Bumper tab is rubbing the tires eveytime I hit a bump and the only way to relocate it is to cut it and fabricate a new tab to keep it the bumper attached to the car (INGS +1).

SS lines I can probably skip, it just worries me because it has 111K + miles on them.

In the process of buying used V710s.

I cancelled my SS lines order from Eric because I waited for over 5 weeks for nothing. I know he is a great guy but I will more than likely order somewhere else.

the worries about temps running high with AC is related to air in the system but yeah definitely no AC at track anymore.

I'm unsure how to do (burp) it but I will try do it tonite.

The too much power comment is more about overheating worries but yeah definitely learned how to do linear throttle input.

All these of course are my excuses because I'm a little scurred because of the incedent from the last track day.

I need some positive reassurance!

Start with new tires, used race tires have lost all their grip.

Burping is easy

Drive the car in a higher gear on the track, 3rd instead of 2nd in turn 1-2 and 5, 4th gear in 7-8-9 and 3

Brake lines are more age and use than mileage. You'd be fine for a street car, but I'd say get new ones for the track and replace them every few years.

What size tires? I have a bunch of 285's hoosiers in 18", but they are all A compounds.

18x8.5 and 18x9.5 are the wheels, fenders rolled all around but I need to drive it to the event. If you have 265s maybe I can squeeze them in the fronts.
