Very nice. Camara angle makes it difficult to see into the turns. In the 2nd half of the video, you're killing him on the braking areas and turns!

+1 on killing him in the brake zones. What brake setup (pads, fluids, ducts?) are you running?

NACA ducts on nismo bumper, 3" to 2" tubes. Super Blue fluid. Carbotech XP10 front XP8 rear in stock (sport) brakes with stock rotors.

Brings me back to why people dog the Akebono's when compared to other brands. I think your video proves that they can run well with some new pads, fluid and cooling, and that your balls are made of brass.

I run the exact same setup but with Castrol SRF or Motul fluid. The stock (sport) calipers are fine for track use. Although my dust boots melted long ago, but I have not had any leaks.
