not sure that means what it used to anymore. Last weekend it was 106 @ NJMP. I heard it was much cooler in Austin.

112 here in OK. I've scratched Hallett for the weekend and am running up to Hastings where a cool 90 is predicted.

Oil change and bleed brakes every other weekend.

Mine isn't a "race"car, but I change the oil and brake fluid twice a year. Before the season and the midpoint of the season (next week). It burns a good bit on track so a good bit doesn't actually get "changed".

I'm finally running all water (& water wetter) so I will be doing that in the spring and the fall because the car stays outside. See avatar.

Trans will get it this weekend as well, but it's been a while. Proabably too long.

Heavy maintenance like the belts and water pump....I inspect it, but have not "ovemaintained" yet. I have had the car 4 seasons (this fall) and about 15,000 miles. Don't know street/track split (I drive to events).

I was the windshield all the time though.

Yeah, we only hit 104 that weekend. However, it has been 100 or above 44 days (so far) this year...and we are just getting into the hottest part of this hottest-and-driest-year-on-record here.

M758

84 944 spec - Raced about once a month.

Oil and filter - every 3-4 events depending on race length and air temps at the event. I use AMSOIL racing oil and change it often as precaution.

transmission - Hmm... every couple years maybe.

Brake fluid - I bleed the brakes every track day so I never "flush" them. This constant bleeding means I run about a quart through every 4-5 events and I have nice firm pedal every race.

Plugs - no set schedule maybe every couple years.

I do change rod bearings every other seasons.

Brake pad and rotors as required based on inspections. I do inspections every track day in the morning while bleeding brakes and rotating tires. Mostly the car just sits between race events. Currently I have to change front pads and do some really minor adjustments to the interior before my next race in August.

I was caught servicing my car when in Indiana (strange things happen there).

Change oil/filter after two race weekends.
Flush trans every 6mo or year depending on usage.
Bleed brakes before every race (love the Motive Bleeder)

TR6

Car: Spec Miata
Oil/filter: every other weekend
Trans/diff oil: every 6 to 8 months
Brake fluid: full flush annually, partial flush/bleed every few months
Radiator coolant: twice per year (once to add some antifreeze in the fall and again in spring to swap to plain water).

oil changes every 3-4th race weekend. amsoil, as mobil 1 was so thin, the oil pressure light would come on! amsoil, (or other top synthetics) gives 5 bar, at every spot on the track, even up to 270F oil temp. that usually amounts to one oil change per race season, as we race about 6 months and once a month.

plugs? havent done that in a few years
brake pads, every 3 weekends, if there are 2 races per weekend.
check the water level always, top off with distilled
clean out air filter after every 2 sessions as it get clogged with sand and dirt, especially at laguna seca
tire pressures every session
nut and bolt before every weekend.

We said, servicing your "TRACK CAR". using mileage is not a good idea. probalby better to call it track days, or hours on the motor. This is track talk, not ricky racer DE guy stuff.

Reimu

lol that technique works so well it makes me wonder why people bother getting out a tool to do it with.

And it's also a good bonding experience between you and your car

bgiere

oil change every 12 hours or so using Redline 10-w40 or 30 weight straight Redline race oil...could go to 20 with no problem...do a UOA twice pre season to verify...diff fluid every 30 hours verified by UOA. brake flush once per season using endless RF 650. Have not yet had to bleed even with the heat this summer pedal has remained firm. Plugs, cap, rotor once at the end of season.

If you believe in "Murphy's Law" and Givlers' law which states "its already broken you just don't know it yet"and oh if its a 914 as in my avatar , maintenance is shall we say "never ending".

That's a pissant comment Mark. One would expect better from you these days.
