Hey Ross, nice to see you out doing a track day! I see you have a 2.4 in the silver car, what's the story on that engine? Jon
I don't know as much about the engine as I wish I did, as I only have a basic build sheet, but it was a 1.8 with 71mm crank+rods and 103mm pistons (2366). Its also got dual valve springs to let it rev a bit higher, though I hear the exhaust stops it from breathing properly far before the redline. The engine itself may be for sale here in a bit if it doesn't let go first!

Good to see you got out there Ross!
Glenn, its a shame I didn't get out to one of the MCSCC events, I had no idea how much fun it could be!

No more super blue. Use ATE Typ 200. Same thing w/o the dye.
Stop using your brakes so much.
Get cooling ducts. If you have cooling ducts... read above.
Cooling ducts will be ordered shortly. I pulled the wheels off and upon close investication it looks like the metal pad backing is actually rubbing the aluminum of the hub a bit, I'm sure that's not helpful heatwise... I believe the front calipers are Volvo types. Maybe just grind the metal edge down a bit?

I agree with Erc. Your brake fluid was old and needed a complete flush and bleed. Quit using your brakes so much. I rarely touch mine except to respond to traffic or set the suspension for a corner.
Oh, and if you really want suggestions, get off that fender. Body work is not cheap.
You are right about not hitting the brakes! But with the speedo reading 120(small tires though) I figured I ought to rub off a little speed
