Also all those at the dragon that let me run with them and showing me the ropes!

Nick you have one he11 of a car and you are one he11 of a driver thank you again for everything im looking forward to seeing and racing with you down hell bender again!

well, Jim has a heavy foot, so hopefully it heals back to the lead foot of the past.... boiling point is like boiling water, because that is what happens to cheap brake fluids...it boils the moisture out of the fluid and you lose brake pressure. Get some rated above 500 degrees...and change from rubber lines to metal. Get you a good ceramic pad and be good to go. I have never owned an N/A but I think the 6 has bigger diameter...

Good deal! Jim had some really nice pads on the calipers that i got from him so i just need the brake lines and fluid now and i should be good
