I think I know why the fluids boiled. It's due to the tires being less grippy than say a 200tw tire like the RT615K+ you put on at the end. Like you end up braking earlier and riding the brakes for longer distances and the brakes end up generating more heat. A buddy had those temp stickers you stick on the calipers and found this out on his Elantra N after tracking it with stock tire (Michelin PS4S) and running RT660s. It's pretty crazy how it works this way instead of the other way around.

I think you're exactly right. I was definitely overworking the brakes. I should've done something like that to test out the differences.

Nice! The brake thing is still weird. I ran RBF600 for years with no fluid failures, I know you said you got some bubbles out so maybe just an imperfect bleed for the first go-around on this car? Either way, I'd hope some cheap scoops and maybe some pad shims should have it sorted.

I think you’re right. The air in the lines for sure meant something boiled over which is only possible if the pressure isn’t perfect (air present). But for such a low amount of laps it was concerning. The street tires and poor rotor condition also didn’t help with how hard I was overworking the brakes. Gong to try a different pad and fresh blanks next track day and see how that goes.

It's crazy to me that Honda makes some of the BEST manual transmissions, yet they totally cripple them with their shitty OEM fluid. I put some of that ACDelco Synchromesh fluid in my Accord 6-6 and it made it butter smooth compared to the grindy mess it was before.

I know right. Best transmissions in the industry, crappy OEM fluid. Maybe they’re looking for longevity versus performance?
