that your brake fluid is relatively new. It definitely depends on the track! Rule of thumb is if you feel them fading back off a bit...just like you said. I've run a few events and had minimal fade. I guess it also depends on how long you are on the track per session. My sessions were 20 minutes. My NA is a little lighter than your car but I would think that it is similar enough to the TT. Go do the track event man!
: I live in so-cal and I'd like to go to one of the driver's schools they hold at Buttonwillow. After spending a lot of money on other fixes for my '93 TT I simply have no $ for even better pads, rotora and ss lines right now.
: Is the fade so bad after a couple hard laps that you'll be flying off the track because you have no brakes at all? Or is it manageable - slow your pace down a little and let them cool, then start driving hard again? : I've never had my TT on the track before but when I had my Supra TT I went to Buttonwillow once and didn't experience any fade. But running around the track hard with other cars I can see how serious fade could be a dangerous problem. If I have to wait another 6 months to save up for a brake upgrade before I go to the track then so be it. But if I can manage the stock brakes by taking it relatively easy on the track then I'd like to do that. It's hard to judge how bad the Z's fade is because I live in a very crowded part of L.A. so I really never have the chance to drive it hard enough to fade the brakes. Any thoughts?
