Hi-Temp brake fluid

[John Herman]

An old racing tip: For a good low-buck alternative to the "racing" fluid, just go and get the stuff from the local Ford dealership. It's dry boiling point is rated way up there (don't have a can in front of me to look) compared to the "normal" DOT3 fluids. Only fluid I ever used on a severly brake challenged FWD car. Just for preventative measures, I would usually bleed the system every race weekend.

thanks, bleeding every race will now be a definite maintanence item.

^^ ditto, us non-ducted knuckle-head Civic drivers do that as well..
