Hi mates,
thought there might be quite a few track junkies here... so i was hoping maybe you could share some experience and advice about tracking my car...
i've been wanting to track for quite a while now... bring the R to her native environment
i know more or less the requirements... i.e. extinguisher, helmet, CAMS license... healthy brakes n tyres... etc. but thats not it.
I'm more concerned as to the longevity of the engine after frequent outings to the track... i'm sure everyones heard horror stories of snapped rods or bent valves etc. and thats not i situation i want to be in.
As i've been told by some that if i do decide to hit the track, i should start thinking about rebuilding the engine somewhere along the line... as tracked engines dont last long without constant attention...
also the thing is, like the majority of working australia, i have a very limited budget, and i dont want to spend too much on the car when there are more important priorities (like buying a house... getting married etc.).
Mind you, i'm not saying i want to hit the track every few weeks... more like 3 or 4 times a year would be good.
please share your opinions and experiences, thanks.
