I understand Bro. There is an event at Streets coming up towards the end of July if you have any interest. I'm gonna try to get the brake ducting sorted before then.
I changed the last car to Motul and it got a little better, but I really think it does something to the seals cause it still never got back 100%. The customer didn't want to try to replace the master cylinder due to cost. I'll tell you 3 fluid changes later we still got green fluid out of it.
Get some of the good stuff.... mmm... http://blog.titanmotorsports.com/?p=1873 [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Tilton-TSR-1-Supreme-Racing-Brake/dp/B0037LXIU8"]Amazon.com: Tilton TSR-1 Supreme Racing Brake Fluid: Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41qtmudkdjL.@@AMEPARAM@@41qtmudkdjL[/ame]
I wonder if the Motul DOT5.1 causes the same kind of damage. That's not the first complaint I've seen. I'd never use ATE blue either, since it ruined the master cylinder on one of my VWs. --Matt
Hmmm. Interesting. Somehow I missed this discussion on Super Blue until now. I've been running Super Blue and Type 200 for 5+years and over 110k miles and haven't noticed any problems... but my pedal has NEVER been as "rock hard" as some I've felt, even before the super blue. After a pump or two it's rock solid, but it's not "solid" at the end of the first stroke, like some I've seen.
...So you're saying that yours takes only a pump or two to get rock solid, but you've felt others that were hard after just one stroke? How many "pedals" have you pumped? :devil:
I've used ATE Super Blue for the past 6 years & for me it's a good fluid. Easy to find & not too spendy. The brakes feel fine to my non-calibrated arthritic ankle.
