Initial shakedown after the winter

OK... ...our season up here is not off to a good start. Our first weekend has been delayed until this week due to a paving project that got badly delayed.



So I'm only now getting my RF89 FF back on track. I've had the flywheel machined down near the class minimum weight and I've installed a clutch I bought off a guy here on Apex that I suspect is really for an FC. I've also installed new pads, and changed to a heavier weight oil after getting some very low pressures when hot.



So, what steps do you think I need to do to shake down the car.



Here's what I'm thinking.



Prep is done and all appears to be work, so get out on track and confirm this is true. Watch water temperature and oil pressure gauge like a hawk.



Make sure the clutch works as intended and that all gears are still easy to select.



Get the pads bedded into somewhat worn rotors.



Bring the car back in and pull off all the bodywork to check that all is well.



Check levels of all fluids: coolant, oil, brake and clutch.



Check every bolt I can.



Any further thoughts, before during or after?
