While I understand that it's not beneficial to learn how to really drive on a 500hp track monster, I also feel that if I'm going to track a car at all it should well sorted and running to its full potential. In that light it would make sense, to me at least, to freshen up the brakes and sort out the tuning issue before I push the car to its limits.

Also I am concerned about the cooling issue. At freeway speeds the car rarely exceeds 170~180F, and I feel pretty confident that it could handle some track time so long as I get the cooling fan to operate properly. I just don't want to shell out the cash, and wind up wasting the whole day because my cooling system isnt up to the task.

On a side note, my power window situation has been fixed and the 'click click' of my switches is like new! Thanks to all the people who have started threads asking questions about pw before me, it made my diag much easier!
