downimpact Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Planning on a few track days this year and ring trip. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to refresh a few consumables: bushes engine mounts brake master cylinder crank pulley Suspension Is there anything else well recommended besides fluids, pads, discs, semi's etc.. Most of the above are the original stock items, with a fair few track days and years upon them. Also after any recommendations from track day enthusiasts for bushes OEM or something a bit harder, likewise TRD engine mounts worth it? I'm currently BPU, thanks.

Iky Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'd highly reccomend TRD mounts if your's is a facelift or on high mileage normal stocker's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'd highly reccomend TRD mounts if your's is a facelift or on high mileage normal stocker's. Just replaced my engine mounts with TRD ones - absolute transformation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 pre facelift about 75k miles, just thought engine mounts maybe worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Have you got Jspec brakes or something bigger? My JSpec brakes had had enough part way round a lap at the Ring, forcing me to back off a little. Some extra cooling would have helped - scoops under the car followed by pipework aimed at the disks, Bignum stylee (he had UK brakes and still needs the extra cooling but most of us aren't that fast).

downimpact Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I've got UK's with race pads and fluid, never had a problem so far (maybe not fast enough ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've got UK's with race pads and fluid, never had a problem so far (maybe not fast enough ) Should be fine then. Not sure if you've been before but there are a couple of big braking zones in a row that are also downhill, they are the big test for brakes. If it's your first trip you will be fine as you won't know the place well enough to be be going quick enough to worry UK brakes. My JSpec were fine the first time I went.

Been 5 years since I was last there, will need to get the playstation out and re learn the end of the track. Infact Steve you bought my half used lap ticket off me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Oh yeah! Prices have gone through the roof since Thankfully the Euro's going down which will help bring the lap and fuel price down. Maybe under new management by then with a bit of luck, seeming as the current numpties have been trying to ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
