Silicone brake fluid & demon tweeks discount
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2007 10:47 am
Not sure if any of you will have experience with this stuff already (marky mark....) but, I'm in the process of rebuilding a saxo for a friend of mine as he recently bought a vx220 and he decided that he loved his old car too much to get rid of, so he wants me to eventually turn it into a 200hp piece of trackday lunacy, which is fine by me as i get a project without even having to pay for it - ideal
Anyway I havent actually had the chance to use the fluid in practice yet as I havent got the struts back yet as they are having new bearings pressed in by a friend as I speak.
However the fluid he's using is by automec - its got a high boiling point (about 260 degrees C i think), it won't destroy paintwork like ordinary stuff (have proved this on a old bit of panelwork!), and the best thing is, unlike normal "anhydrous" fluid it doesnt attract water, hence doesn't slowly get a lower boiling point like the ordinary stuff, so giving very consistent performance. The coolest thing about it is that its a real nice deep blue in colour, which is unusual for brake fluid as its normally yellowy/green...
The point of this thread though, is that if you are changing over to braided hoses (e.g. goodridge) as i will be sometime in the future, you may want to consider it, depending really on how much you cain your brakes and how long you plan on keeping the car...
If any of you want to use it I know it's available (not cheap though - about
