I'm easy on the brakes, but then I drive 7/10 at the track. I don't own it yet.

Sucks, because I was in the groove. Well, except for that turn that I apex WAY early on.

Last time at Streets I was driving 9.9/10ths!

I was basically the fastest car out there so my adrenaline and manliness took over from there. I couldn't help but drive as fast as I could. Something took over me. My oil pressure gauge was gradually creeping down to around 5 bar and I still didn't let off.

I was referring to owning the car instead of the bank.

Careful, man. But that's cool. One day I will be able to go flat out. I need to become a better driver first, though. Right now, the car covers up my many many mistakes.

Seriously though. It's dangerous driving that fast no matter how good of a driver you are.

When I came back in through the paddock, everybody told me they thought I was going to spin everytime coming off of turn 1. The truth: That was my favorite corner. I was able to pitch the car sideways in before the Apex and be WOT BEFORE the Apex, so I was kinda sideways but still really fast. I slid the car all the way to the edge of the dirt everytime.

That's what you do when you want to be competitive.

Yeah, and some regions have the car in a different class stock. I don't even bother with it.

HPDE FTW.

yeah, anyone have specific suggestions on pads or lines or fluid, anything like that? rotors?

[Bishop]

any preference on pads or lines then? and would it be beneficial to do fluid as well?

I don't know enough about them to recommend autoX brake pads, but pretty much all SS brake lines are created equal. Throw in some ATE blue or gold and you're in better shape no matter what pads you use.
