It's hit or miss. Put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail and watch it on the dyno... Or just upgrade the wiring and be done with it.

If it were me I would just upgrade the wiring and be done with it yeah... Why risk a fuel pressure drop at the worst of times.

Assuming all your fluids were changed at the beginning of this season, and assuming this is your first track day of the season, then nothing.

The course won't be that hard on your brakes as your first few track sessions will be really learning the line and consolidating your skills. You'll be pushing it harder in the afternoon though - even then, I remember my OEM pads lasted nearly 2 track days on TMP before they were done. You'll want to eventually upgrade your pads and brake fluids, for both autox and/or tracking.

Yeah definitely gutted all the fluids from the car when I took it over in May as per the "to do list" on the S2ki forum for new owners post.

I've just cleared up August 8th so I will likely be signing up for that one but I'll confirm before Sunday.
