heated the brakes up a bit too much haha
hi everyone today i was doing a canyon in about 100 degree weather and at the end of the down hill my brakes were so heated up they were stoping very very poorly(i almost could not stop ) so i poped the hood and sure enough my stock brake fluid was coming out the master cylender just a bit let the car cool and it was fine again my question is what brake fluid should i use to avoid this from happening again on the canyon/autocross/track events. also my pads are on there last leg as well what pads do people use in dd/weekend worrier cars??
any advice will be greatly appreciated

I use these Stoptech pads on my daily. Ive taken these in the canyons and there were pretty awsome! And the price is not too shabby!

I'd bet you didnt bleed the brakes in a while? I have a suspicious feeling that there was a lot of water in your brake fluid, lowering the boiling point. I doubt a canyon run would boil brake fluid unless you are much, much braver than I

Is it the original fill of stock fluid? On over 90% of the S2000s out there, they should be on their second or third "tanks" of brake fluid by now.
I use ATE myself, in alternating colors.

haha have you been on gmr/ azuza canyon in 100+degree weather going as fast as you can trying to keep with an nsx-r and a skyline haha? it might happen to you too but you have a good point i have not changed the fluid ever, and since i bought the car used with 60k on it i have no clue how long that fluid has been in there (it now has 80k) im going to flush the system put the ATE blue in there and change my pads out/ get my rotors turned. i also want to get some steel brake lines
