hi
i went to shannonville racing track today and it is my first time in there with my r
after the i finish and get home my brake was kinda loose !! have to step so deep to stop. shop told me after tracks i should do brake oil flash.
i just wanna know if it is true or just change brake pad ?
thx

 

did you change pads and fluid? cuz you could just go back to your stock setup.. were you road racing or auto crossing?....mugen

 

If your fluid was stock, you probably boiled it some, so you need to bleed them out (if you plan on doing more track days, upgrading to a higher performance brake fluid like Motul or even MotorCraft (available at ford dealers) is a good idea. You also may have glazed the stock pads, that will get better slowly over time or you can sand them, but i've never done this so I'm not sure what the best method is. Or, go buy a higher performance brake pad (again, if you plan to go back, this is a good idea).

 

Yeah, my first track event I boiled my fluid pretty bad. I flushed the whole system and put in some ATE TYP 200

 

Does boiling brake fluid hurt anything? Just wondering if I should upgrade the fluid before my first track day.

 

not really, just affects your braking performance. Keep your stock brakes for the first event if its still good.
