    Being encouraged not to spend money on mods! This has never happened before 😂  Yeah maybe its for the best just see how I get on. Hoping to do 1 track day a month so hopefully I can learn a lot a change what I need to as I see fit as you suggest (probably save a lot of money that way as well!).

    The stock suspension is fairly good, lowering springs are for looks rather than handling. Of you're gonna do anything fit better front brake pads and fluid, otherwise leave it - it will be fine for your first go. Keep it to 15 mins max if you don't upgrade the brakes.

    Disks and pads are practically brand new. Maybe some better quality fluid then?

    After owning the car for a week, it became time to book a track day (which is the primary reason I got the 86), so me and a work colleague have booked up and evening session at Snetterton on April 18th. My friend will be taking his Focus RS and is quite experienced with track days, I however have never driven on track. 

    Currently the 86 I have is bone stock it is a 2017 model so has the cool little track mode button. I don't want to spend fortunes on my first track day so will be using stock tires and wheels for this event however I know that the first big change to the car will be wheels and tires. I was wondering if anyone thinks it would be worth it to fit some eibach springs just to lower the centre of gravity slightly before my first event.

    Would it just be worth it to stay stock for this event is probably more what I am trying to ask? Also, any advice would be hugely appreciated as I am a tad nervous but incredibly excited.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi guys! I have just picked up my GT86 and am absolutely loving the drive of it so far, I actually sold my 370 BHP Golf R to get it and not regretting a thing. Its nice to actually feel like i am driving the car again. Hoping to start doing a few track days soon and attend quite a few meets, I am based in Essex so I hope to see a few of you members around!

    Seems like a really good community on here so I look forward to meeting you lot.
