I have a 2010 MR w/16000 and i was wondering if my transmission would be good to go on the track or should i do some precautionary things before. Im still on stock trans/diff fluid.

Well... You gotta pay to play.
If you got 12k spare lying around ready, then you are good to go.
If you don't know what I mean then no you're not.

 

[bondoa6]

you need to get race brake fluid....

and mods if you want to compete, but not necessary to have
FUN!

 

[bondoa6]

oh, and a brain bucket. not DOT, but Motorsports rated.

Buddyy.. you were born ready. Get Em Tigerr.

 

[bondoa6]

^they're GREEEEAAAAAATTTTT!

 

[Demon X]

You need lots of stuff. Amen!

SSP has a track package that includes new SST fluid and a transmission cooler.

lol like anyone 'competes' the first time they go to a track... your not even allowed to pass without a point-by! just do a brake fluid flush and you'll be fine. you might get some 'SLOW DOWN' warnings from the SST, but maybe not until you've done a few track days and start getting faster. If you do, SSP has a lot of goodies to help keeps the trans cool.

Besides that, anything else is optional. my first track day in the evo, i lapped a GT-R and a Lambo Superlegerra, with my boiling OEM brake fluid and all Anyone saying you need to do anything more shouldn't be posting

 

[trick3d]

Yeah seriously, some of you forget that a miata with a decent driver could lap most of us. Driver mods folks.

Can you go to a track day on a stock evo without doing any damage? Like having some fun runs not competing all day.

Are you kidding me? yes, of course!

Nope, just like the internet.. 100% serious business 95% of the time.

DO NOT GO BONE STOCK!!!

Get your brake fluid flushed.

You could, otherwise, have the car towed home with a lot of bodywork to look forward to.

As for a bone stock Miata, you guys give them a little too much credit. They're not as fast as you think they are.

 

[orthojoe]

Brake fluid flush would still mean you're stock, which I totally agree with doing.

There's a misconception that you need a fully track prepped car with all the bells and whistles your first time out. You don't need it until you get better.

 

[Frankiago]

Non-stock fluids are not stock :shades:

Sure, oil is oil, but brake fluid is not brake fluid. You're arguing semantics brah, the car isn't ready for the track bone stock, you have to do something before taking it to the track. By your reasoning, changing out to race pads also means bone-stock?

We can continue to argue semantics all day long brah.

 

[orthojoe]

I was actually thinking stock fluid or equivalent and stock pads. I think stock brake fluid would be fine with a beginner. I know plenty of guys at the track that run in full stock form (fluids and pads) and do just fine.

The first to do afterwards if you're hooked and want to get better is to get better fluid and pads, though.

 

[Frankiago]

Oh. :jk:


My first track day all I did was a flush of RBF600. I've seen too many wrecks simply because of brake fluid to let that minor inconvenience cause any worry.

Let's be honest... who has gone to a track day and not gotten hooked? Serious question, is it possible? Shit's so fun...

Ha! I agree with you, but every once in a while I get a friend I bring along that only does it once, or only once a year. I don't know what's wrong with them...:duh:
