So theyre offering free passes on this new course by me and was wondering what I should at the minimum prep for a mostly trouble free day.

I was thinking change brake pads, tranny, motor, brake oil.

Thanks

 

It'd be good to change all the major fluids, just to take a look at the old stuff. I'd put good synthetic in it, I use Amsoil in the trans and diff, Mobil1 in the engine. If you feel like spending the money, Superblue brake fluid, otherwise a good DOT3 brake fluid will work unless you overuse the brakes.



I would also, while you have the car in the air, check all the suspension bolts and nuts, as well as the engine/drivetrain fastners. You don't want one of those coming loose on track, and by putting a wrench on them you're more likely to find any cracks or problems in any of those components.

 

yep, make sure all the wheel bearings are tight, cooling hoses are ok etc.
