    Default Used car desirables

    Forgive me if I missed another thread that answered this question, but I am considering a switch from FF to FM and would like to have a list of desirable parts, equipment, etc. to look for when shopping for an FM.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Default Spares needed

    If you are racing then you should have with you at the track

    Spare nose assembly @$800
    Extra set of slicks mounted on wheels
    Rains mounted on wheels
    Both top gears
    (2) spare dog rings
    Spare set of plugs
    @6 sets of main jets 3 lean positions 3 rich positions
    (2) axles worth of brakes

    Any and all other spares are just icing on the cake. I have a feeling that you were asking what spares should you look for in a deal on a car. For the first few years this is all I would take and never missed a race. Prep the car properly at the shop, replace parts that are wearing and you are good to go.
