Hi Guys -

The 911 is back from the spa with a clean bill of health. Head studs are all accounted for, leakdown and compression numbers are very good, all suspension bits checked out. I'd like to address the trombone cooler prior to our first track event and I'd probably be better suited if I upgraded the brake pads. I know there's been a lot of chatter on both here but it's almost too much info to make a decent decision on. Here's where I stand:

1. Oil cooler - the plan was to keep it simple and just install a Carrera cooler in the front fender. Our host sells a cooler plus adapter kit for about the $450 mark. I've never had heat problems before and I think this would be sufficient. Any thoughts against this?

2. Pads and fluid - I've always been a fan of ATE blue in my auto-x and street cars but never tracked a car with it. From the interwebs it looks like it's an ok fluid to use. As for pads i don't even know where to begin! I'm a beginner and if my last time out says anything I'm very easy on the brakes. It's something i need to learn so easy modulation is key for me. Would the Pagid Orange pads be good?

Sadly I don't think I'll be able to afford harnesses this year but I am still planning on installing the GT3 seats and rollbar!
