Is fluid more important than split reservoirs?

Boiling point ranges
Dry boiling point Wet boiling point
DOT 3 205 °C (401 °F) 140 °C (284 °F)
DOT 4 230 °C (446 °F) 155 °C (311 °F)
DOT 5 260 °C (500 °F) 180 °C (356 °F)
DOT 5.1 270 °C (518 °F) 190 °C (374 °F)

When rotors glow they are 1,000F Again, most C5 owners will not drive so hard as to get their rotors glowing. When you look at the wet boil points of ordinary brake fluids it would not be at all unusual with moderately hard brake use to see fluid temps in the calipers of 311F or too close for comfort to the wet boil range for average fluids.

The SRF is hands down the best fluid and comes at a super premium price. The Motul RBF600 is reasonable at $15 a bottle and I would say mandatory for a daily driver that will see some AC and Road Course use.

TRAN isn't home today so I thought we should have a Hump Day Party at his house. My friends brought some snacks.



Who's bringing the beer?

Hey, have you been at my house while I was gone... Those are my countertops... the exact same granite... I rekunize the jelly stain..

That granite IS part of THR22's braking system. Just tie a rope around a chunk and throw it out the window. Eventually it will get stuck somewhere and then BAM ! car stops. Otherwise it's just a DRAG... :laugh:

:laugh: I was pointing to my tag just below my username. LOL

But I'll help with your brakes, just have a tourniquet, surgical tape and a ton of gauze handy. After all, it DOES require some work down by the caliper and wheels. :bellyroll:

I got lost after he mentioned 'Rum stash'. Where do I need to look again. I found the vienna sausages, but missed the rum.

Bonspeed Malibu:

Iconz 630Z
Pretty much the same as the Iforged.

http://www.iconzwheels.com/images/IC...0up630ZNew.jpg

More wheels will be added to the list, I'm sure... :facepalm:

EDIT 1:
After looking at Boze I could go with this one.

Boze Fivespeed:

Are you looking for show or for go? I'd personally go for the lightest wheel out of the ones you listed.
