Right I'd like some input from those experienced track day drivers.
So far my Civic EP3 has:
Gruppe M intake
Remap
Cat-back exhaust
Limited slip diff
Powerflex front bushes
Powerflex engine mount bush
Stripped out rear interior
Eibach springs, camber adjustment bolts
Rear camber adjustment arms
Fast road setup
OEM 17s with Hankook Ventus V12 evo tyres all round
Brakes and brake fluid are my next move, they are already being refurbished and upgraded as they boiled on my last trackday
So what I'd like to know is where to spend the money next. I don't think more engine power is the best bet, I'm more leaning towards weight reduction and improving the braking/handling. I already plan to remove the headunit, front speakers, sound deadening and any un-used wiring/bracketry from around the car. I may consider plastic windows too. Is there any other good weight saving to be had? If so from where?
Finally what other chassis mods are worth doing for track use?
I'm thinking Toyo R888 for dry track use as well. That'll probably be a huge difference.
Thanks in advance
