Wide tyres. Sway bars. Rear braces to have camber. .. 3° and 2° degrees of camber to start is a must. Anti lift kit. Oil pan or a baffle plate for it...and aos ...and enjoy!
If it is your first time going to the track, just leave it stock as much as possible. Brakes - Hawk DTC 60 with cooling ducts Brake Fluid - Castrol SRF or Motul 660. Then sign up for an in-car Instructed track 2-day track event. Learn to slide the car around and stay on throttle as much as possible. Learn to brake late, heal/toe - down shift/rev match and get back to full throttle as quickly as possible. That is what I teach. As you can see in this and many of my videos, there is a difference between a well trained driver and a self-taught "lapper".
@@PFCoach44 Thank you! I just got my car back from getting a type RA swap and added some goodies. Got a baffled oil pan with pickup, AOS, and some other bolt ons to make it stage2. For someone such as myself, where do I start learning heal/toe downshifts? I can match rev downshift pretty well I have been very nervous to try this, and would never do it on a public road. I live out on a bunch of quite backroads with no traffic, any tips?
@@Emzy-87 There is so much to tell you that it will require me to write all day. In short, heal/toe is best practiced in the city. Get to a near red line 3rd gear speed and come to a stop sign or red light while heal toe-ing/down-shift/rev-matching from 4th to 3rd to 2nd. Keep doing this until it becomes muscle memory. I do not know how to heal/toe. It is even automatic when I drive my automatic Audi Q5. At stop signs I find myself moving inching forward because my foot is always on both pedals. I even heal toe my Ram diesel Cummins with a 6 speed manual - and those pedals have a very long throw! (It helps to wear a size 12 shoe 🙂) Before you start, your stock brake/gas pedal have to be fixed. They need to be closer together (about 1 to 1-1/2" apart). Take a look at a BMW, Porsche or Miata's pedal box. I installed the Cusco throttle pedal extender to fix that. When I got my STi in 2017, before I even put in my first tank of gas, I fixed my pedal. I plan on making a heal/toe video in the near future - probably ready by April 2023.
A lot of the android head units have the ability to connect a bluetooth OBD2 reader with real time data that can be monitored in apps like Torque Pro. I don't have it in my WRX but I am running one in my truck and it's been priceless when towing.
Most track organizations and facilities for non-professional events require windows down for each seat occupied. In this case, both front windows are down to prevent wind buffeting at high speeds. This rule is for safety - eg., extract the driver easily in case of emergency. Also be able to give proper hand signals for passing. Note: Some groups allow turn signals as an alternate for hand signals.
Warning! Danger to Manifold on your head unit just like in Fast and Furious lol
This is awesome!! Thanks 👍
absolutely beautiful
Yeah, I gotta hit up a road course one of these days
Great video and its inspiring me. I would like to start taking my 09 to the track. Any recommendations for suspension/tires? Rear or Front bars?

Awesome video! I was wondering about the gauges in the head unit, how did you get that? I'm looking to do something similar in my 2012 sti

マフラーはどこのメーカーのやつですか？
why do the windows look down on all the cars? drag is required?
