PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
I think it failed because of something in the amsoil fluid (other than water) that is conductive. The tester they use just measures how conductive the fluid is, not how much moisture is present.
You flush more than once a year cause your fluid can only handle 350° wet. SRF are 550° wet, that's nearly same as dry boiling point. $60 per 1L is 33oz. $120 per year for the best brake fluid you can buy is nothing when you consider how important brakes are on track. I spend more on gas in a weekend.
retard money, chu could have gotten two 1L bottles of Castrol SRF for that much. no issues at all when i ran the pads down to 1mm at Glen. i've talked to racers who said they only flush once a year with SRF. 550 wet boiling point boich. if its good enough for F1 cars, then it's good enough for my car. chu needs to turn up your brake fluid son.

*** yo couch, ninja! I have enough brake fluid to last me probably 4 years, thats doing a full flush with 3 bottles of fluid per year. I did a full flush in April before the NASA event. I'm going to do a bleed with one bottle before I go back to Pocono in July and then again in September before WGI. To meh its not a badge of honor to say I only flush once per year, not worth it to try and push it when it comes to a $10 bottle of fluid.
I think it was the fluid. We just flushed that ish 5 min before it got tested and failed... why would it be his car?

After the recent AMSoil brake fluid issues we had with CCA I'm going to give Motul RBF another shot. just grabbed 12 bottles of Motul RBF 600 for $120 shipped from http://pitposse.com/ use code MEMSR13 to save 50% off your order. That should be enough to last me a couple years, lol.
True story!

btw, I still have an EVO, so I didn't go backwards...
Shiv swears by the stoptech stuff. To this day his setup (stoptechs on all 4 corners, DTC60's and stoptech fluid) is hands down the best brakes I've ever felt. Tried to replicate that with my car (new/rebuilt calipers, brass bushings and DTC60's) but no luck. I think the big difference is the fixed calipers.
oh, so they put those dry and wet boiling point there for laughs. true that we don't know how fast the SRF absorb water compare to others, but all i know is when a scca national champ driving an evo tells me that he used to flush brake fluid every event now only flush fluids once a year after switching to SRF, i'll take his word for it. do what chu want, you da one driving your car.

^ why chu be using chur brakes that much? I told chu not to use brakes. If you were using real brake pads, then they wouldn't have wore to the backing plates in one shession and melt the pistons.
