Upgrade Brake Master Cylinder

NoHachi,

You keep forgetting the biggest point in a hachi.

The pressure you put on the brake pads at this moment is NOT enough for the tires to loose tracktion.

Only at low speeds this happens.

With fresh pads, fresh brake fluid I can only lock the brakes on my car at low speeds, at higher speeds I can not use the full braking force my tires would allow. Hence by your own description I need to improve my braking system so it can go beyond my tires stickyness.

Just to compare, if I brake with my hachi on Zandvoort approaching the Tarzan corner (after the long straight) I can floor my brake and I still don't lock the tires. Sounds to me there is room for improvement

Now with my car I still have to replace my old not to warn out brake lines. Still talking with Zax the other day, with his hachi, with fresh brake lines, fresh brake fluids, fresh mintex pads, he still has problems with his braking.

I'm slowly getting pretty convinced that the calipers and pads the hachi has are up to the task and the only worry I have with those is that they get hot to fast and start to fade. Allthough better brake fluid can do alot of good here. I also don't rule out that fading is my real problem, not the maximum braking force I can apply.

But I'm also getting convinced that the amount of force my foot can apply to the brakes is not enough to get the maximum braking power out of my car in track conditions.

Also having more power assist will make braking easier on my foot, I may not be able to increase the braking power of my car beyond the point that the tires allow, but I wont have to put as much force on my paddle to get the same braking result as the power assist will apply the force I am not applying, thats worth something aswell.
