The fan on the SST cooler is a joke and is done by people who autoX and never see high speeds or long/high heat runs. At an AutoX, you will probably be full throttle for 20% of the time during a very short run. Then you will stop moving and wait to go again, that is why people put those fans on. In road racing, you will be full throttle >30% of the time over a 20-30 minute session.

If you want, you can hold off on the SST cooler until you actually need it, like when your ECU puts you in limp mode due to overheating. My guess is that you will not need it until your lap times begin to improve.

I speak from track data and countless worn out tire shoulders by our racing team to tell you to get sway bars front and rear. You need the added roll prevention for that fat pig you call an Evo X.

And lastly about the surge tank. Most autoX runs do not see enough lateral G's (especially on street tires) for long enough duration to warrant the need for a surge tank. And you won't even use 1 gallon of fuel at a typical DAY of autoX. Whereas you can go through 4 or 5 gallons of fuel in one 30 minute session on the road course. This is when the surge tank becomes a requirement.

All of the information above comes with a caveat. You can have plenty of fun with your car as it sits now! There should be no fear in damaging parts while you are learning to drive on the track. Change the brake fluid, get a set of Hawk HPS pads, and fill her up after every session. You will have a blast!

Once you get that track bug (which I know you will), then start making changes to the car. That is why I say sign up for HPDE 1 at TWS with us. It is a great group of people and you can learn a lot about your car. And as an added bonus, there is a big party on Saturday night with free food and beer
