Just go out and have fun. Don't worry about the anti-freeze. You should get one of those power flush jobs soon, they cost about $50.00 and well worth the money it cost.Go with Dealer rotors, watch out for Discount Parts, the Dealer always gets the prime parts, discount are just that, cheap made last for short time. Don't worry about rear brakes. As your Seat Time increases your brake time will decrease. Just go out and have fun thats what Novice do..

As a newbie the BEST thing you can do is make sure your current car is mechanically sound and go race race race. If you like it, only then drop some money on whatever you deem necessary to go fast(er).

One last thank you to everyone who posted a reply to my post.

I got some great advice from those with experience, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Our next local autocross is at the end of June, but will be at night. I plan for that to be my first autocross. I may post the results here after the event.

Thanks again & be safe, but have FUN!
