Had such a blast today at my first trackday in my Silver car. It ran like a champ, and was sticking to the corners like glue! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
I did, however boil my brake fluid after flogging the car through the 3rd 30 min session. I noticed the fade early and was able to stay in low gear and cruise to pits, but it was scary none the less. It has 5-lug vented rotors, so this surprised me. I hear that old fluid might have been partly to blame? Any other suggestions? It was not a hot day (60's). -Ross Attached thumbnail(s)

Thomas, I'm afraid I have a windows phone, so no lap timer ( last time I checked).
Marty + Matt, I'll have to get a checklist and make sure to go through each of those before the next event, which is the last week of October (hopefully no snow). My current tires are Nitto NT-01's which seem to be decently sticky, and should last me through the end of this year at least. For my 1000'th post, I have attached a few shots of the damage to the hub from the brake pad. My plan is to take a grinder to the metal lip and take enough of it so it clears. Anyone see problems with that?    |
