question.. how much power are you making and when was the last time you flushed your brake fluid? perhaps you experienced fade because you didn't have fresh fluid?

Power is 325. The car was 7 months old when I took it to Shannonville and experienced huge brake fade and peddle travel by the end of the day. Replaced fluid with DOT 3 and had the same problems at Dunnville the next year.
BTW the car is 4475lbs with me driving, and that's even after I take out the two baby seats :lol:
In '07 with the current setup at Dunnville I could modulate the brake peddle hauling it down for turn 1 and it was very much less scary then before. Fun chasing down little Civics without having to worry too much about bouncing them off the track at every corner.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
