Getting ready

Well I don't have 16K to buy that sweet 2004 MCS on the board, so ...

What do I need to do a track day? From autox, I have a helmet, tire pressure gauge, torque wrench, and shoes - (sneakers are just too wide). The car is a 2002 MCS completely stock except for Toyo Proxie t1R's.

Do I need(key here is need to try out a track day) a tow hook? Racing suit? Should I change brake fluid or do any other maintenance?

It seems a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer here on the forums?

If your just trying to go to an open track day.
you absolutely need none of that.
helmet, long sleeve shirt, long pants.

tools would be nice, but I never take a set.
extra oil, brake fluid, distilled water(important)

and the most important thing is to take your "I wanna kick peoples asses" mindset.

Have you changed your brake fluid recently? Within the last 2 months? If not, flush the brake system with some ATE Super Blue.

There should be a tow hook in the tool kit that came with the car. Install it.
