So youre sayin that changin really old brake fluid to new makes a difference?

ive always wondered if it did, thank fuck youve told us though because I always feared my SR Turbo would lose a few bhp if I changed the fluid! :/

[mikey4410]

yeah big difference as the fluid absorbs water over time which diminishes the fluids high boiling point properties. Under hard breaking I no longer get "spongy" brakes.

as for the bhp loss/gain I havent got a clue on exact figures but im sure u have an idea really and your just messing.

[daniel_g]

See if you had changed the fluid before you went on the dyno Mikey youd have made a few more ponies!!

[PaulStarletSR]

If you were a skilled driver, you wouldnt have to use 'hard braking'

[mikey4410]

never been a skilled driver,just a normal driver hence why I brake hard and accelerate hard.

[mikey4410]

have booked up brands evening session for a week or so's time.

nothing to serious,just really wana see how the car goes properly since turbo conversion and also since rear camber was fabricated.

also bought a cheap set of wheels for some track tyres to go on.




they are straight and true.

[maddox710]

[mikey4410]

[maddox710]

Yeah they just scream corsa c atm anything will help either alloy silver or all black

[mikey4410]

Thanks for advice. nice 1

[maddox710]

The tyres you going for Mike?

[mikey4410]

I am going for nankang ns2r track tyres sir.

heard nout but real good stuff about them.my mates got them on his rx8 thats coming on the evening with me an they are superb.

hes well impressed with them.

I can get a set for £240 fitted 195/50/15

[maddox710]

I did think of them, might try federal rsr just so I can get to learn the limits of the setup before putting r888 etc on and straining my skills haha

[mikey4410]

those r888 are absolutely insane on track at temperature.

mind blowing.

[abbott]

Would go for the rsr's over the ns2's and they wear really well

[maddox710]

I've got them on the front atm and they hook really well on warm dry roads, but are dangerous on wet Roads

[Amjad]

^Wet road performance and the delamination horror stories is what has put me off Federals

Wheels would do the job sprayed black Mikey, function>form

[mikey4410]

okies amjad.

amjad I asked u a few questions on the geometry setup thread. can u answer when u get second please. :-D
