It went to a good home! Now waiting for our Rush SRX! Going to be a beast at Club Motorsports!
Been there! A couple tips: be careful filling the rad. If it gets air pockets (usually upper corners) it can melt the solder (or whatever the sealant is) and leak. After your track day, look for grease thrown out from the cv joints. There should not be any, so it indicates the bolts may have loosened and your cv joint is self-destructing. Swap your tires side to side to get a few more laps out of them (some tracks are harder on one side than the other). If you have a single fuel tank, it might last 30 minutes if you are lucky. Pay attention to the time on track to avoid an embarrassing out-of-gas experience or two.I find myself in the same boat. I just did my first track day in late May, am using a new 16’ utility trailer for transport, and am struggling to get the trailer properly outfitted and the car properly “turned” for my next track day at the Glen on June 8th.
I hate this awkwardness and feeling of not being knowledgeable as of yet of what maintenance I need to do and how to do it but I’m sure this will come with time.
I wish the community was larger and there were others close to me geographically to lean on.
Otherwise, I did have an a fantastic first day out on LRP with the Rush. I told myself I’d take it easy the first day but, well….that didn’t quite happen![]()
It’s me!Where is the new owner? Always interested to see where cars end up.

The question is simple, for all of you that already have the car and have raced it, what are the essential and nice to have tools and equipment that I'll need once the car arrives. I'm coming from Spec Miata so I have the basics (jack stands, tool sets etc.) but would like to ensure that I have the right stuff for when the car arrives.
Let me have it! Thanks so much!
