cheers dave....since i had the cooler installed the car feels a lot better and starts up a lot better too

[Aberax]

Should i do an oil change before the track day or after...or both?

[scandyflick]

i do before and after.

Should i do an oil change before the track day or after...or both?

Always do it before like dave said. I dont do it after, actually i'm still running the same oil i put in my car before Adrain's track day

[Aberax]

Ok, cool. Would it be alright to change the oil 1 week before the event, drive on it a bit, and then do the trackday? Or would i be better off doing it 1-2 days before and doing very little driving on it?

[DSTROY]

I do mine the day before, the fresher the oil the better.

same

[Aberax]

Ok, i may do mine on the Sunday in the morning, then head out to Dion's place in the afternoon - as i am staying at his place the Sunday night as it is closer to leave from there, then Aldinga.

Oil change a week or so before is fine. Its the old oil that isn't great for your engine when it is under stress. The older the oil, the quicker it breaks down and then literally loses its lubricating properties. After a track day is a very good idea too - and if you think about it $70 - $100 to do them both is far cheaper than an engine rebuild.....

[Aberax]

Very True...but i could have a lot of fun with an engine rebuild...however, i wouldn't like how much i would be spending.

Question, I may have a mate coming out to watch me make a fool of myself, would it be possible for him to drive my car out on the track if he has a helmet with no one else in the car? Or is there some insurance liability form i have to sign, that will stop him from being able too?

He would have to fill out the forms and pay $200 just like everyone else if there was a spot free.
