Which Break Fluid

[gruffalo]

Just thought I would solicite some help from the more knowlegable out there in Cerb Cybre land.

Done a couple of track days now and the most consistant thing about the way the car performs is that after 20 mins or so I lose the breaks completely, fluid boils.

The time to act was decided at about 3pm at a 120MPH or so on the approach to the hairpin at Mallory Park and the break peddle went straight to the floor, not a great feeling I can tell you.

Can any one let me know what they have found as the best solution when it comes to high temp break fluid?

Ohh by the way I am using EBC Red Stuff pads, not great I know but better that the fluid I am currently using which is just standard and not up to the job.

It might just be old fluid causing you the problem. Since you've boiled it, it needs to go anyway. You might want to look at some high temp stuff such as Motul RBF600. It does need changing every 6 months according to the spec though.

I've heard that melted Kit-kats work as a good break fluid.

Arr yes, we had some friends over last night and they had just gone home after a rather liquid evening. It took me about 30mins to type that out last night, probably should have waited till this morning.

Oh my poor head!!!!
