> all i ever did was do the drift events and this year wiht a litte more power im going to try some grip events. so i guess ill have to do soem more research

there is no research. Run the car with DOT4 fluid…if you find its boiling and brakes fade run higher temp fluid. I got away with DOT4 for years, when I use to do drift events. Now that i’m doing grip, I found with higher grip tires like R’s I was able to boil the DOT4 with stock power. Last year all I did was bleed my brakes after every event, this year I’m upgraded to rbf600 so I don’t have to go through the hasle.

Also, change your thinking, u don’t need power to put down fast laps. Its all suspension and chassis tuning and driver.
