[QUOTE="TroyV, post: 8363590, member: 28469"] I can field some of these. 1. Not sure in your area, but there should be a few different clubs holding events at your region's tracks. Run searches to find more specific info. 2. Same response as 1. 3. Heat is the enemy.....in many different ways.....Engine heat being the most critical in terms of the reliability of your machine. You will find a lot of info on here regarding this topic.....run searches on user name "racebronco2" Carlos is one of, if not the authority on the subject. 4. Not sure of specific shops, but I highly recommend....at the novice level.....that you drive the car as it sits before spending hard earned cash on mods with potentially marginal return. 5. Cobalt XR2's are the absolute shite.....boat anchor out the back stopping power, but very heavy on the noise and dust end......and keep those wheels, and the car clean after running in the rain. otherwise....get used to using the claybar to get the residue off. These pads may be more aggresive than you are ready for, but at some point you should try them.....they are amazing pads. 6. I ran poly in the front of my Cobra, and didn't see a significant benefit...it is either delrin, or don't bother. 7. In the case of the MM K, and tubular arms...the benefit is better suspension geometry, more available negative camber, more available caster etc... ....again, if you're new at this, there is no reason to apply any of these mods. Once you start pushing the car harder, you find the need for better pads, brake cooling, better engine cooling etc... Spend your cash on track event fees, and find events with capable instructors. After a bunch of seat time, then formulate a plan on what you'd like to change on the car to keep you in the seat for longer. Make the priority you...not the car. High performance driving is more about improving yourself than improving your car...though that does eventually come into play. Best of luck...and welcome to the "Go Fast Crack Pipe". :) [/QUOTE]
