My son and I are going to a track cross tomorrow at Summit Point. My son's BMW is not ready so I plan on driving my 914 and letting him drive my Acura. Please give me recommendations on tire pressures for the 914. I have never had it on a track. It has a stock suspension without sway bars, 205-55-15 tires (300 treadwear rating) on 4 lug Fuchs. It will only be 50 degrees.

Agree with stock.
Question is if you've ever been on the track? If not, or not much, concentrate on the course, your sight (looking ahead), shifting points, etc. have fun, don’t worry about that till you’re hooked and buying real tires.... |

I've done 5 track days and was amazed at the lack of grip because of the cold weather. I ended up letting my son drive the 914 and I drove the Acura. It was a great father & son activity. We were in different classes but our afternoon times were only 0.038 second apart. 2 observations from my son. The 914 needs a front sway bar and a sport seat. |
