Default Mountains made me sick a little......YIPPIIEEEE~

So, yeah, I live about 15 minutes from the seqouia national forest and in the mountains what do they have??? Yeah.....lot's and lots of twisty turns. No traffic, 70 degrees, mountain scenery. Life is grand. So i am hauling up the mountain.......making myself a little sick mind you, left right right right, left right and so on. finally turn around and head back down. I stop about halfway cause I am feeling that my car is getting a little "squishy". I get out and my brakes are smoking a little. Yes, i have an auto so no glory of downshifting. Anyway, let cool for a few then resume a rather calm ride back down......ahhhh life is good.

Touge is a popular drift road/ mountain in Japan. Hachiroku is an AE 86. Jeez, don't you read Super Street

Actually Touge is not a mauntain per se, it is the action of going thru the mountain at high speeds, and no drifting required.

"Beat of the Rising Sun" Go Hachiroku! MAN! I love those cars.

Actually with a bigger brake setup, there will be more heat since there is a lot of area of cover. I would suggest building an air conduct of some sort to direct air onto the calipers, so they can cool better.
