Let's talk about brake fluids. Good/Bad/Oh snap! I'm farmin'!

[J. Fast]

I'm going to try this fluid as lately I've has some issues with boiling RBF600. I have 355mm Stoptech BBK and Carbotech XP-12 pads up front and freshly rebuilt stock 2G calipers and XP-10s in the rear.

Wow! That's pretty serious heat. I'm full pedal from 175mph to about 90mph and on/off around 120 mph on DTC-70 fronts and OEM rears without vents and I haven't boiled Motul 600. I'm up to 40 min sessions now too!! Damn, you must be killin it! What are your brake scrub speeds?

PG2013.2 @ BIR, Stealth R/T TT, a lap from session 7 - YouTube Car is around 3450lbs with me and a full tank. 290 whp/tq. Nitto NT-01s. I've run at Road America and probably 10 or more track days at BIR with the Stoptech setup and not had any problems. Even with co-drivers where we switch off alternating sessions. This last time I had one moment of weak brake pedal at the track and a couple after coming off the track. Starting the cool down lap earlier helps with the issues when coming off the track. But the weak brake pedal at the track scared me. I've seen cars go farming, and it is not fun. Especially at BIR where there are no gravel pits.

Cool vid. I like the telemetry. I'm not familiar with your setup, are you TT or single? Any hood pics? How do you edit your telemetry onto your video? I'd like to learn how to do that.

Thanks! This was the first time I added telemetry and it came out pretty well. I used RaceRender 2 software to make the movies. I synchronized a GoPro movie with Harry's laptimer data and OpenPort datalogs.

As for my setup, nothing fancy in the power department. 13G TT on pump gas.

I really like the video and data acquisition combined telemetry. It's a huge help with corner entry and exit and braking. I could shave more time off my laps if I combined both instead of running video separate. I think telemetry setup would make for a good thread. OT, what's your total out of pocket for your setup, Oskar?

I may try the type 200. I don't autocross my vr4 but sometimes at the drag strip my brakes get spongy when trying to slowdown. If you don't turn fast enough you'll run into a corn field. I just bought an Airtekk BBK so I might as well do the upgrade the fluid too. I believe this is the track Lawdogg was talking about. It's called SLNP? or SLMP? and was once a gokart track. A bunch of us camped there for a weekend last year, and raced during the day. Good times.

I'll go ahead and write this up later on tonight.

Have you tried solo storm?

Robert at MVP gave me a great price on Torque RT700 brake fluid
