Car Preparation for Track Event - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZRapid-1 · 09-13-2011

Hello all,

I am taking my 90 Z to a HPDE at Lime Rock Park next week. Am looking for helpful advice as to car setup and preparation.

I have just replaced the brake fluid with DOT 4. There is no air in the system and the pedal is firm.

The car has new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires (335/35ZR17 on rears). Will bring a compressor and add a few pounds at the track to stiffen the sidewalls.

I have read that the front corner air deflectors should be removed to allow more airflow for front brake cooling. Looks like three bolts holding on each side.

Obvious stuff like making sure the Full Engine Power switch is on, air conditioning is turned off, and radio is off.

Anything else?

Thanks in advance.
