Hi all,
I'm off for my first rolling road session on sat at powerstation and wanted to know, is there anything i need to do to get my car ready?

For example i'm going to check the fluids such as oil and coolant but what else do i need to do??
What sort of tyre pressure do i need, how much fuel should i have(full to the top-half full?)
Anything else i should know, anything else anyone can suggest??

Cheers Jam

Ear Muffs, for when I get there

If your running bigger horsepower I'd look at reducing the pressures to aid grip (will mould to the rollers better)
although this will increse drag......

Ice pack for the intercooler maybe?

Just do what you have suggested already and make sure all the levels are ok.
