Hey all!

Getting the FL5 track ready for it's first track day at Mid Ohio with Chin Racing! May 24-25 or something like that. Just a quick rundown on the mods/adds/upgrades for reference:

Brakes:
Was going to go with the Paragon 6 piston kit, but...I might not. Would like to try the stock setup with pads and lines upgraded as they are THAT good from the get go

1. EBC RP1 front pads/BlueStuff rear pads
2. EBC Rear vented rotors
3. HEL Stainless brakes lines
4. MOTUL 600 Racing DOT 4 brake fluid

Suspension:
1. J's Racing springs
2. J's Racing Strut bar

Fluids:
1. 5w30 Amsoil synthetic oil
2. Amsoil tranny fluid

Cooling:
1. PRL Intercooler
2. PRL HVI intake/MST intake (might swap out)
3. PRL Inlet pipe

Wheels/Tires:
1. Spoon 18"x10" wheels, 52 offset
2. Kenda UHP Max+ 285/35-18 rubber

Interior:
1. JQ Werks hub
2. OMP Super Quadro wheel
3. Acuity Shift kit
4. Rear seat delete

Engine/Power:
1. Intake/intercooler/pipes
2. Throttle controller
3. MST Downpipe
4. Otherwise stock

OTHER:
1. Ground kit upgrade
2. Charge pipes
3. Rear motor mount


And I'm sure I forgot something! Wish me luck! and maybe I'll see you there....

I am sure you already know, but I wanted to advise nevertheless. Make sure you go ahead and buy a new set of dust boots for your OEM calibers. They WILL burn off, especially considering you are no noob and will be pushing the car harder than most.

Eh. I’ve been using that stuff for years and it works pretty well. Although I do appreciate it! " Motul RBF 600/660/700 (popular for track days)" The other is great for more endurance racing.

SRF is amazing for its long life. I use it for annual flushes with pre-track day minor bleed top offs without issues. That said, I've been loving Endless RF650 lately. The pedal feel on my M3 feels so much better with this fluid vs SRF. I believe it has lower compressibility leading to a firmer pedal.
