Default prep questions

I am currently turbo charged, I have a Gt ball bearing turbo which hits full boost by 4k. I dont have anything done to the rear end of the car.

Here is what I am planning on putting in before the track day. The thing is the track day is actual for Best motoring video ( american togue 2 ) . And I want to show what the s2000 can really do. I will not be driving it, best motoring is bringing some drivers from Japan to drive

Oil Cooler
Oil Change
Spark Plugs
Tuning
Suspension tuning

COnsidering
Comptech Diff housing
Cusco 1.5 lsd
gears??? do I need this if so what ratio
Driveshaft shop axles

I also have a 6 point cusco cage, adn the 3 point chasis bar, what other stiffening stuff would be helpful?

Thanks in advance

The most important parts for the track are tires and brake pads.

Considering the mods you have already I would add changing out your brake fluid with a racing brake fluid: ATE Superblue/Gold, Motul, or the uber-expensive Castrol SRF.

A big fat front sway bar (Comptech, Gendron, or Saner) would also be helpful especially if you increase your tire sizes over stock as already suggested.

I would ask Tinker129. He has tracked his Turbo S atleast 2 or more times. He would be able to tell you.

Any particular reason you're running such a skinny tire in the rear? I would think you'd want more rubber, esp. for a turboed car.

Talk to Krazik. The big boys run 285/30/18 in the back and they don't have anything close to the power you do. You want as much rubber under the car as you can get as it allows you carry more speed thru the corners. It's the biggest bang for the $$ on lowering lap times.
