ok so this past weekend i took the car out for the first time on the track. the whole day was a success. Thanks to my buddies Chris(egvera89) and Bryan who came with me and gave me some pointers while i went out there.
only ran into one issue. there was some water on the track so after a couple of laps i came off and chris noticed that there was some liquid on my right rear wheel. i was under the impression that it was just some water from the track. popped the hood and all the fluids were where they were supposed to be.
on the way home from the track i noticed my brake pedal kept slowly going down, this was def not normal. By the time i got home there was almost no brake fluid in the reservoir so right away i knew that was what was on my right rear wheel at the track.
So what was the issue? Luckily nothing happened on track... Nice build btw

I never got a chance to look at it yet been pretty busy at work. Im about 90% sure its a leaking caliper...before i went to the track I did the rear brakes and the caliper was a little frozen but it loosened up on me...so didnt think anything of It. hopefullly this weekend ill take a look at it.
Thanks for the compliment by the way i appreciate it
Oh man thought i updated this but completely forgot to. ok well i had fixed the problem, which of course it was the leaking caliper. i replaced it and it now works perfectly fine.
i was just on the track again this past sunday. This time i had gone 3 seconds faster than the last time i was on there which i am happy with. i tried to upload pics from last time but for some reason it was not working so here are pics from this past sundays open track day at englishtown New Jerey raceway parks road course.
Here are a couple of really clean cars and a really cool group of guys from PA that showed up and our buddy with the S2000 that rolled in with us as well.
