Miro Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I see some folks talking about car not being "prepped for the track." Should I be worried about bringing a completely stock LGT to the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The track prep they are really talking about is good brake pads and brake fluid. Otherwise a stock LGT will be fine on the track. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 it's better to be stock the first time out. If anything, performance front brake pads would be helpful but not essential, something like hawk hps or EBC yellowstuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miro Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 it's better to be stock the first time out. If anything, performance front brake pads would be helpful but not essential, something like hawk hps or EBC yellowstuff. Cool beans! The one and only time I've ever tracked a car, I took my '98 Accord (replete with well-used all-seasons and basically bone-stock brakes), and had a blast... Then when I got home I found out the front-left caliper bolt seized, necessitating a new caliper. Neither I nor the mechanics could take that goddamn bolt off properly, so they had to cut it off. Long story short, the Accord escaped with very little problems, and I'd like to have it be the same with the LGT So given the pads recommendation, I assume there's some brake fade possibility, but not necessarily warping the rotors?

Chris GTO TT Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 So given the pads recommendation, I assume there's some brake fade possibility, but not necessarily warping the rotors? The Legacy is quick enough and heavy enough to induce brake fade especially on the stock pads. Warped rotors is a misnomer... It is really just an uneven deposit of pad material on the rotor. The best way to avoid that is don't get your brakes hot and then come to a complete stop. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrik94087 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Doubt I'd track the car, but I'm down to hangout otherwise! Don't worry...my driving would be more like a leisurely stroll.

blanston Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'd be in for a track day as a newb. I only have one day at an Infineon hyperdrive, so i'm at the novice level with a stock wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 this is awesome to see so much interest, i would be happy if even 2 of us ran a track day together, that would be a record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 if you contact m sprank, you might get him to talk LALGT to bring his bling'ing heavily tracked LGT out for a day. If you do this later in the year (money is tight now), I might be able to come down for a day. Would be in a rental, tho. With regards stock LGT on track, I did 4 days on all season tires and OEM brake hardware. Its doable. Oddly enough, I learned more running on a bone-stock LGT than I did on a modified one. Lastly, if you want to upgrade your tires/wheels, I have a track set that is looking for a new home (BFG R1 235/17 on Enkei PF01 17x8 silver). They fit perfect on lowered LGT wagon or sedan.

WESTcoast Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'd be interested in just hanging out, wish my lgt still ran but I'll come with my fozzy maybe put together some coverage. This was the last car video I've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 ok, spiderpig is down to come up =) He prefers the 5/31-6/1 weekend that way it's not too hot and we don't cook our cars on the track. How does that weekend look for everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Strongly interested. Car has a few issues at the moment, most can be addressed pretty easily. My tires are starting to go a bit, so if I trash 'em here, it wouldn't be the end of the world.. Will definitely keep an eye on this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
