Change of fluid is on the cards then. Have you upgraded the brakes or just the fluid not having a high enough boiling point? Nice video

Brake fluid is no brand dot 4 I had in the garage

Any suggestions?

Cracking little video Andy, glad your spin was nothing too serious, the sudden brake loss sounds bloody hairy!

I can't really give you any recommendations for brake fluid as I'm not that clued up on the subject, it might well be worth asking Oilman

in the past I have been using racing brake fluid of ATE' (blue color) and from motul

Cheers Kit, yes the spin was exciting, serves me right really . No brakes was frightening though!

Cool, I will give it a try, I like the colour difference for bleeding through.

Brake lines are stock. What are the benefits of stainless flexis other than pedal feel?

[andy10v]

I thought I had best check my catch tank, full of oil.



Knockhill is all right hand corners (I have had no issues with oil getting thrown out on the road), I am going to need a swirl pot with a drain before the catch tank, or ditch the block breather and vent from the head (that will require some valve cover mods).

Continuing the wiring theme I ripped out the mess of after market stereo wiring

better protection on the outside and if the brake fluid heats up, so does the rubber flexible and can be expand a little bit so more volume means also more oil ,this gives a longer pedal stroke

Was knockhill busy . I had me name down on the cancelation list but no calls. Hopefully get to the next one as I'm dying to have a blat on a track.

Fully booked, 50 cars iirc.

Next Knockhill open pit lane day is Sunday 11th Jan 11:00-15:00

I dont know when the first Track Scotland Knockhill day is.

It was great fun, used a **** lot of fuel though, I filled the car to the neck, took 60 litres and used it all!
