New disks all round, DS2500 pads, shiny new Goodridge hoses, 888 calipers on the front and no idea if brake fluid has moved on in the past 10 years hehe

Is super blue still the stuff to have or have 5.1 fluids improved?

I cooked fresh 5.1 at Snetterton so if I was doing any more would use something better. Non issue now though as I wont be doing any more trackdays in the Chim. I seem to remember some red fluid being recommended but not cheap at around £50 a litre?
I made the mistake of thinking 5.1 was better because it was newer, a lot of the proper dot 4 fluids have higher boiling points than 5.1 so you were generally better buying decent dot 4. I just didn't know if things had moved on since I last had a track car. Will try the opie people thumbup
