As they're all refurb units they don't seem to last long (especially as ours is kept outside). Interested to see if the better brake fluid helps in any way. i rebuilt them on my westfeild and never had any problems with them. ive gotta do a full system bleed what fluid are you going to be using now?

BenD Posted March 13, 2019 Author Posted March 13, 2019 Maybe I'll have to invest in some decent fluid. Mine Is bound to be full of water after the car was standing for so long Quote
AdamR Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Doesn't make any odds, cheap DOT4 will do nicely Quote
B.RAD Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Our brakes were cooking. We were burning through a full set of pads every trackday (standard apec pads). Partly I think because the discs were effed, partly because of a couple of seized calipers, but anything that helps brake temps can't be a bad thing! Quote

Dommo Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I'm struggling under braking, though I have less of a "well" than the standard sump. Is baffled though! Anything beyond 0.5g braking seems to be showing abnormal pressure drops for me. Over 0.8g produces some scarily low drops! Quote

You do have alot more power than I did though Quote
AdamR Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Yeah you need some brake cooling Barny! I've seen 1.5g and no oil issues, slicks are fine with standard sump. It's a good design, if you've chopped it down then that's why you're struggling Dommo. 2 Quote
