Default my set up good?

Hi i am about to attend a track meet and want to prepare my car for it. Sorry if has been posted many times, i tried the search but didn't find anything about Socal conditions. I will be tracking my car 5% of the time, and the other 95% will be DD. What i want to go with is:

Engine oil: Mobil 1
Tranny Fluid: Honda MTF (ok for 05 trannys?)
Diff Fluid: Mobil1 75w90 (was thinking about LE607, but i still have warrenty)
Brake Fluid: ATE super blue (good for Daily driving?)
Clutch Fluid: ATE super blue?? (is this ok?)

sorry if this is a noob question. thanks!

I don't think LE-607 would void your warranty. In fact It is a 90W GL-5 spec gear oil. I think Honda would have an easier time voiding your warranty on your diff with the fluid you have in there now, as the spec is for a 90W GL-5 spec gear oil not a 75w-90 GL-? gear oil. Also if your being real picky about fluids, I don't think any Blue brake fluids are DOT approved due to color. Technically illegal for street use I believe.

EDIT: Also, I think Honda just modified their MTF. I'm looking forward to trying it out in the next 1,000 miles. Hopefully it holds up a little better now.

The ATE fluids are only blue so that you can see when you have flushed out your system by the color change. They also sell ATE Super Gold, same product, different color. I have never heard that it was not street legal and have run it in a number of cars and been pleased with the results.

Everything you are running sounds pretty good. You will prbably want to upgrade your break PADS more than anything else. Go with a mild perfomance pad, something that can stand the heat of the track and still be streetable.

What you use for clutch fluid doesn't really matter.

Have fun!

607 FTW. Great stuff. Superblue is a great fluid. I use it on my DD s2000 (never tracked) but members that I respect tell me that you need to change it more often than regular fluid.
