Reconstructed upgrade plan · 2026-02-08

Choose the next change before buying parts

An English reconstruction of the January–February planning sessions; proposed purchases are distinct from recorded work.

The brief

Prepare a Model 3 Performance Highland for occasional trackdays while keeping it useful as a daily car. Improve it one step at a time, and compare the cost of each next step.

Areas considered

Area What was being weighed
Tyres and pressures The existing tyres versus a later replacement suited to occasional track use.
Alignment What could be changed with the stock suspension and available adjustment range.
Brakes Fluid, pads and hoses; whether related work should be grouped together.
Wheels A separate, less expensive track set, including the question of smaller diameters.

For the next 25-minute session, the stated baseline was stock tyres, discs and fluid. The wider parts discussion described possible later steps, not a completed shopping list.

Keep the right car in view

Several answers used references from an earlier Model 3 generation. The user repeatedly brought the discussion back to the Highland and its stock adaptive suspension. That distinction mattered to both the alignment work and the parts research.
