As I try to get to the track more now that I have my 924S, I'm thinking it will be a good idea to pack a tool box for track days. I'm not necessarily planning on buying any new tools, but I can get a box and fill it with what I need when I go to the track. Here's a list of things I can think of. What else should I add?

Jack is already in the car
Maybe a good lug wrench
Torque wrench
Metric sockets and ratchet
Metric combination wrenches
Power bleeder
Can of Ate brake fluid
A quart or two of oil
Phillips and flat head screwdrivers
Rags
A gallon of distilled H2O (in case I need to add to the cooling system?)
Window cleaner

Any point in having a spare alternator or PS belt?
Any other spares that I should have handy?

 

Spare relays, a general purpose one and a DME one. Multimeter. A few clip leads. Allen wrench set.

Many people keep the belts they took off last time they were changed as spares, assuming they aren't in terrible condition.

Do you have a box or bag in mind? I have a craftsman bag I use for this purpose, but I don't like it very much. It doesn't stay open very well, and the pockets sag when you put stuff in them.

 

AAA card

 

Better spring for the extra towing miles too.

 

another complete, running 944.

 

I bring a real jack (not the factory POS), jack stands, scoket set, small set of pliers, wrench set, Motive brake bleeder, oil, brake fluid, coolant, water, paper towels, torque wrench, cordless impact gun (awesome!), extra lug nuts and a few odds and ends. I have a tire trailer with a tool box on it, all the tools are in it. The only thing I actually carry in the car is my suitcase and my helmet/HANS.

 

I'm thinking box.

Right now I'm thinking I'll drive to the track on my Dunlop Direzza tires and run the car that way. I do have a spare set of wheels on which I could put a set of true track tires. Can four wheels/tires, toolbox, suitcase, helmet/HANS, etc. all fit in the car???

I have a '97 Suburban. Guess I need to put a trailer on the wish list!

Oh yeah, and I do have AAA!

To what has been mentioned, I'd add:

hammers
triple-square socket (for the cheesehead bolts on the axles
spare brake pads
pressure gauge
chalk
tape
zip ties
gloves
hat
sunscreen
poncho
trash bags
hanes manual
clarks-garage (I think my printouts are nearing completeness)
string
tape measures

 

Tools are first. I can carry just about all the tools I need to work on the car in a 4 drawer craftsman box. Just liftable weight wise and fits in the hatch of the 944.

Bring oil, rags, gloves, tire pressure gauge and either air tank or 12v air pump. As far as spares. Tough since you don't have that much room. I would just bring consumables like oil and a spare set of pads. Beyond that when the car breaks it breaks and it is best to know the 944 racers that come with trailers and lots of spares.

I carry spare radiator, gearbox, brake calipers, hubs, hoses, AFM and DME and more. Next time out I might bring a spare head too.

Lots of space in 24 ft enclosed trailer. I don't mind lending parts, but prefer each guy have a good basic set of tools. I carry some unique ones, but basic sockets and wrenches every 944 guy should have I their tool bag.

 

Oil dry for when it grenades at the track...

 

Latest Snap On Tool calender.......that's all.

 

spare engine, serpentine, clutch, and all engine support components including wires, hoses, etc... add a spare driveshaft, axles and cv joints and all your metric tools. or just bring two working cars.... your 944 (reserves) and your S2000 (standing army).... but in all fairness, racing a 944 is a lot less of a risky proposition than attempting to daily drive a 944.

 

LOL. Pretty much what I was thinking.

Murphy's law says it doesn't matter what I bring, the only tool I'll need at a track day is the tool I DIDN'T bring.
