general question: what does the car/engine do when it oil starves?
on hoosier A6 tires. car is pretty setup but i only run 320 whp. i knew evo that track for years without kiggly and they seems to be fine. even on street tires, if you drive hard enough, you'll still get oil starvation, just not as bad.

got it. not driving near hard enough for that I'm sure.

so nothing else for stock brakes needed other than good pads and good fluid for near stock levels?

Yeah just get a solid track pad. I've been running hawk drc60's on street tires for 3 years now. When I firsts started I ran CL rc5+. If you want a cheap set to try lemme know, have lots of sets laying around.

yeah, some good brake fluids. amsoil or castrol srf. the srf is a little more expensive but it will last longer.

there are plenty of good street/track pads out there. carbotech, CL, hawks. the hawks are probably the cheapest. might also want to research which pads have more corrosive dust on wheels, if you care about that.

yea I've read near unbelievable things about carbotechs. my buddy works for this company in korea that makes brake pads, gonna give it a try, said to be pretty good for track. I'm only doing PDX/HPDEs, we'll see how it goes.

IMO (see my sig LOL):
Carbotech pads are THE best.
Castro fluid is the best.
If you have the cash and are dead serious.

If you're not racing and just looking to enjoy a track day:

Hawk pads are just fine. You don't need race pads, just something that won't catch fire LOL
Fresh DOT fluid should do fine on those pads and street tires. I don't remember having an issue with fluid until I went to sticky tires, better pads, and got way more aggressive/serious.

Keep it simple and reasonable and you will have more fun, trust me. Its not rocket science. Just have fun, man.

Don't worry: you will most likely get hooked and spend way more, later LOL

No sense in breaking the bank until you need to.
