Default Getting Ready!

Did a bit of spring tuneups for My first track session of 2013 on Friday!
1. New Rotors, Pagid Yellows (didn't get my PFC's in time), Castrol SRF fluid.
2. Tranny fluid change
3. New Cup Lip (with brake duct openings)
4. All coolant fittings pinned
5. Leaking KW3 fixed
6. Car raised about 1/4in due to bottoming out the shock travel.
7. New seatbelt cartridge that retracts on drivers side.

Still to do:
Clearplex for windshield
Rennline adjustable gas pedal
Reinstall AIM Smartycam
Double check everything!!

Can't believe I forgot the coolest part, installed my M & M exhaust! Deeper growlier, sounds German, a bit louder, but so far not too bad!

Was a good morning at the track, car ran well, and I set a new personal best laptime 1:56.72 and rolling lap of 1:56.02. I'll get through the video and put it up.

Edit, Smartycam crapped out (user error I'm sure) will fix and duplicate for next time

Your car looks incredible with the orange paint and the gold BBS wheels. Nice that we were able to get in 3 sessions on dry pavement. Was I with you on the fast lap? A bit of adjustment going from my BMW with DCT to a manual but should be able to beat my time of 1 54 at some point this season.
