This issue is very...interesting.

I've been tracking my RSX-S consistently for 3 years now at the Autobahn (IL), Gingerman (MI), and will be at Road America (WI) this summer. I raced it with just an intake, struts & shocks at first. Then I got sways & braces. Finally I got SS lines, pads, and 550F brake fluids.

Even before the brake modifications, I never had my brake pedal go down to the floor or anything like other drivers. I also never had fuel starvation issues I believe. Sure, I ran out of gas quick, but I went WOT a lot (esp with only an NA 2.0).

From what I've been gathering, the Z not only needs an oil cooler, but now also has gas starvation issues? I plan on getting a Z down the road and tracking it, so this is not good news...

I would also upgrade the brake fluid tho and from the sound of it start with Stillen sways (and eventually get KWv3s)
