  Boiled brake fluid = spongy brakes, not on/off switch for lock-em-up-brake-action, am I right? (Ive never owned a car capable of speeds that could cause boiled fluid)

  That track is really close to me.

  I think they run those track days twice a week.

  Consider this. The Evo X has ABS standard.

  ^^ Did that on a neighbour track to TMP. 100% brake failure through the last few turns of my last lap of the day (I did manage to keep it on track though.) No ABS on that car.

  Celica GT-S. One of the few cars I've owned known for having good brakes instead of horrible ones.

  Took me a second to realize that the rotor was GLOWING. Well done.

  Go fast or go broke.

  That generation GT-S/GT has some VERY impressive brakes for their price point. In my (now 2300lb) car, the brakes are downright painful, and it's still stock configuration just with aftermarket replacements. Brembo rotors, EBC pads, stainless lines.
