After the huge disappointment that was the first track outing, I made some changes and gave it another go.

So, I’ve had the car just over a week now, and it’s been a busy old time.
After selling the Alto Works, there was a tiny little nugget shaped hole in my life, so I had no choice but to fill it with another Kei car.
Last trackday was so I could try the car out as close to stock as I could handle. Now that was done, it was time to throw some more bits I had been holding onto, onto the car.
As part of my prep for the next trackday and to remedy an issue I had in the last one, I chose to upgrade my VSC control module to a newer one from a 2017+ GT86/BRZ.
The day finally came, it was the BRZs turn on the track.
Progress on the Marina has been a slow burn, but it’s been ticking away in the background, around the work on the other cars.
Before the first track day in the BRZ, I needed to give the brakes a going over so I knew they would withstand the beating I was about to give them.
With 190,000km on the clock, and little to no service history, I wanted to replace the PCV Valve as preventative maintenance, as this is the cause of a few issues others have had.
More track day prep here. One of the common issues with the Toybaru Twins is that the oil temps are pretty high, so in an attempt to control it, I installed an oil-coolant heat exchanger.
