First track day shakedown

Check your power steering as well. Boiled mine for the first time yesterday and again today. Other than the mess on the engine compartment no real impact that I noticed.

Z1 PS cooler and some Redine ATF will be on order ASAP.

And don't fill it up to the cold line. Leave a little extra space under the line.

I'll definitely have to check that. I didn't have any issues and Waterford is a small twisty track but the temps were only low 80's so this might be an issue when it gets hotter out.

He suffered from brakes over heating. Then track doesn't allow the for much ventilation of the heat generated by the cars. Along with running the sport akebonos his brakes just boilded over. It was a crazy hard impact as well. I was stunned that he was able to drive away a few seconds after the impact.

If the brakes overheated then how did they look like they locked up the front and his rear end came sliding around the front? It looked just like someone slamming the brakes on ice with a wheel not strait.

None of us in PWC are running the Akebono brakes and we are all running significant cooling ducts. The #51 is has a custom specced PFC brake system.

When I watched the in-car video, it just looked like he went too deep in the brake zone and jinked to the left to avoid the car in front of him, but then hooked it back to the right and down the escape road.

yeah i wouldn't think so. begining of that race the Stop Tech sponcer was talking them up like no other.

we might be talking about a different race?? the one i saw there was no one close to him. he just hit the brakes, pitched left, rear stepped right, and he went into the wall. no run off in that corner. looked like a very hard hit.

I run stock PS cooler with good fluid and have never had issue on track with fluid boiling?

I boiled the stock fluid and jumped straight to the z1 PS cooler with good reline D6 fluid, so I never tried the good fluid/stock cooler combo
