Hello Does200; Did you relocate your battery to the engine compartment?
Any pictures of the relocation installation?...Thanks!
Battery on my black car is in the front in a lowered battery box if you look close, with a small dimension PC925 Odyseey battery. Small but potent, that's what she said.
In my original post, I was more concerned about the internal brake components in choosing a fluid. Someone once told me to never use a silicone base in my red 5S, because of the brake build, so that is why I was wondering about my black car. Maybe silicone fluid doesn't do well with brake internals made with rubber components? Or maybe they didn't know what they were talking about, had investment in the non-silicone stuff, ha ha.
Red cars don't have problems with it. Only black cars.
I've been using it in three high performance cars since about 1978.
If you bleed the brakes periodically you will bleed the moisture out of the system.
By the same token, you really need to do so with conventional fluid also.
Probably the best thing to do with all brake fluid is to replace it every other time that you need to do the pads.
Neither one should really cause havoc anywhere.
Why any kind of a racecar should have issue is probably because of lack of maintanence of the system.
You need to keep a log and service items periodically.
The craziest thing I saw with racers was that they were using recapped race tires.
They always looked scary to me but all things considered they were about as dependable as anything?
