Folks,
I've been invited to a trackday at the end of this month at Goodwood and frankly could do with a bit of advice!
I won't be thrashing my 260, but even a moderate blast is harder than it usually gets on the road (honest), so...
1) There's a 105db 3/4 revs static noise limit. How can I find out before the day if I need to do anything to my exhaust?
2) My Z has stock springs and shocks, so rolls a bit (OK, a lot) in corners. It also dives more than a Portuguese footballer when braking. I have a set of lowering springs I can fit, and the camber-correcting blocks, but is it worth it? Will I find my fillings shaking out of my teeth? How involved is it to get my arches rolled so my back tyres clear them once lowered?
3) Should I top my oil right up to avoid starvation in corners?
4) Short of getting a more capable (and lighter) driver, is there anything I should be doing as a matter of course?
5) Can I buy trackday insurance cover?
Thanks all,
Tony
