02 wrx reliability at the track

hey kind of a vague question because ever motor and car differs lol

but

i have an 02 wrx with 51k on it stage 2 tuned by Ed (very good tune aggressive but safe)

stock tranny clutch was recently replaced (with oem)at around 45k



going to thunderhill on the 2nd

how reliable have your cars been when you go on track days?
how do you think my tranny will hold up?

the motor i have faith in but you know how these tranny are
input please!

thanks,
Theo

you will be fine.. tranny is will be fine. if i were you change your oil. to 10w30 over the 5.....appearently the oem recommendations end up messing up the motor anyways if someone can correct me on that that would be great..

I took my 2002 WRX on Laguna Seca pre-getting tuned by Ed with an automatic tranny and it did fine. What brake pads are you running though?
