What ever you do, don't use a street/autox pad, use a proper track pad that can handle temps above 1200F.

Make sure out is fully topped up (even slightly higher) and coolant is fresh and full and inspect any hoses. This is a light chassis so it is relatively easy on wear items

Hi, thanks a lot for the input.

With that said, I was looking at EBC Greenstuff but they are not suitable for the track so I am looking at options. But it seems hard to find pads for the XP13 yaris. Like those Carbotech xp10, it seems they are not available for this gen.

Meanwhile I will be looking at a chilly coolant (I am sure this will hear up quickly since it is a slow track and the this engine needs to be reved high to play) and will be trying to find a nice track ready pad set
