Hi guys, done my first track few weeks ago, and loved every bit of it in my exige s.

Just wondering what I should be checking between track day other than the obvious oils ect !!

Any help would be great :slight_smile:

Your bank balance :wink:

3

Hahaha yer that’s always a killer lol

4

torque down all the suspension points.

To be honest I just do the usual fluid checks, tyre-pressure etc. I always give the car a look over but to be honest I’m such a numpty it would have to be pretty bloody glaringly obvious for me to pick it up :laughing:

The main thing I check is my diary to plan the next outing :wink:

So where did you go for your first trackday,…tell us more.

cough, wheelnuts too :confused:

yep, fluids wheel torque and if your are not clueless numpty, make sure you have enough brake pads left for the day :wink:

Haha done all the brake pads and fluid before the last track day, so I’ll just torque everthing up and hope for the best lol.

Done the first one at bedford gt circuit and doing silverstone on Wednesday :slight_smile: can’t wait just hope the rain holds off.

Thanks for advice guys

The more I fecked with my car I ended up checking everything! The last thing to rattle was the exhaust manifold, two bolts missing from the head after a morning session at Donny. By the end of that day, I spent 6 months with the wrench permanently set to Lucy…loosey left :unamused: lol

Guys what’s the best oil for these cars !! I’m sure it’s been covered a million times but I can’t seem to work out how to use the search bar properly :frowning:

I’m using Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40

I would always jack the car up and give each wheel a waggle at 12/6 and 9/3 o clock. Feel for the slighest play and movement. Yesterday it paid off for me as I found the passenger side, rear, upper ball joint bolts to the hub had come loose. Bit of thread lock and all is fixed. Last year found the inner tie link bolts had worked loose after installing new ones.
