Warning to those who want to track their cars with stock fluid.

someone who isnt me tracked his car with stock brake fluid, and to his surprise he completely lost braking power. pedal went straight to the floor, and unless pumped 2-3 times, no brakes at all.

the car had z28 brake ducts installed. and stock everything on the standard goodyears.

whatever you do, use racing fluid or AT LEAST DOT4.

Just general advice for people who track on hot climates.

after the brake loss, bleeding the 4 calipers with racing fluid fixed the problem. looooots of air in the lines... who knows why?(like science pro explanation so it does not happen again)

good day people!
