Track Preparation, and camera bar
Greetings Vetterites!
I'm planning on attending a two day track event out here on the Left Coast and have a couple of questions for the collective.
I have a 6 speed, 2000 Coupe, with Corsa touring exhausts, a K & N air filter, Z51 sway bars, and Nitto 555 tires. So I am "mildly modified", to put it mildly. My question is regarding tire pressures. What tire pressures are best for a road course? Also, what sort of bars are available for in car cameras?
Thanks for your input, group.

Re: Track Preparation, and camera bar (Don Schenk)
If you are running stock alignment, you should bump the pressures up into the high-30s. If not, you will destroy the outside edge of the tires, especially the front. If you have -1 degree of camber (or more), you can probably run the tires at 32-35psi with no problems.
Please not that these higher pressure are not for Grip, but to keep the tires from rolling under and overheating.

I just got this via UPS yesterday:
http://www.r-dracing.com
click on the tab that says "C5 Cross-Bar" It includes a camera mount too.
Ithought about fabricating a mount but finally gave in and bought one. It looks like an easy install and does not require any interior modifications.
You can also get a belt harse if you ever put in a racing harness.
