My first mod

I got some nt05s 255rr/235fr. I am going to be at Fontana, CA autoclub raceway for my first track event. Hope to see any of you there if you can make it! Happy tuning guys!

 

Not sure if I consider tires a mod, but congrats and have fun at Fontana!

A little unsolicited advice:
Best advice for a first track day - check your ego at the door. Expect to be passed by "slow" cars with experienced drivers. And you'll probably get a chance to pass a "fast" car with a raw driver. Start out slow and learn the track and the line (hopefully with an instructor in the passenger seat). Watch youtube vids or find a video game that has the track and commit the turns to memory BEFORE the event. I spent my entire first day on the track just getting comfortable, speed was not my focus.

If you have more than one "save" per session, that's a sign you're trying to drive faster than your skill level. Keep it at 8-9/10ths and take your car home in one piece. There will be plenty more track days to work on getting faster. Spending $150 on track insurance isn't necessarily a bad idea, either...

 

I'm with Jeff, I am not sure I would consider tires a mod, but there are tons of little things that you could do to make your S yours, on the cheap or balls deep, depending on your preference

But, welcome and keep the rubber down.

 

Tires can drastically improve the handling of a vehicle and change it's competition class.. So I do consider them a modification, with the right tire combo on the car you can definitely push it harder.. Good luck with the car bro!

 

Like said before, don't be a hero. Drive 8/10's and you'll be fine. Track days are a ton of fun as long as you keep it safe.
Tires are a good 'mod' depending on what was on there before.

 

Who actually drive 8/10ths on the street? If I get above 4-5/10ths it's pretty sketchy on the street.

At the track pushing 8/10ths is the limit for me. After that I'm tacking risks I'm not getting paid for.

 

I meant drive 8/10ths on the track. Don't overdrive the track.

No one should be driving anywhere close to that on the street.

 

I was on bald tires that the previous owner did not change out lol.

 

lol i pushed it too hard and beat cars. sorry I didn't read this post before I went into the track. I'll do just that next time. Here is the result!
